WEBVTT - 11-4-25 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.200 Don't want to be in Americaniti Scott Flow Show. 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:06.840 This is seven hundred WLW on this election day where 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.559 we find out the future makeup the future of the 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.600 city of Cincinnati. It's a big one here with the 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.000 mayoral race being decided between Aftab Pureval and Corey Bowman, 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.200 and of course city council the twenty six people are running. 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.439 Later on the show, Mike Wiener, I was sorry, Mark Weiner, 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.360 let me try that again. Aaron Weiner, my name is 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.720 messed up this morning. It's the time change and the 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.200 lack of caffeine. I'm gonna go with that. Aaron Weiner's 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.520 on his consul candidate. We'll talk to him in the 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.080 ten o'clock or a teno six this morning. I mean again, 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.920 just one of the many people who are vying for 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.400 nine seats to change the makeup I you know, projecting here. 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.519 I think Aftab wins. Well, interesting to see how much 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.720 Corey Bowman does and bites into that lead. And I 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.000 think Aftab's feeling it for sure from a really really 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.080 good fight in valiant fight Corey Bowman. But you know, 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.600 pushing that boulder up the hill in deep blue Cincinnati, 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.840 that's a tough one. I think that I could be wrong, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.440 but it feels to me like counsel of the one. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.320 They're the ones in jeopardy at this point too, because 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.480 people are feeling the pain and the crime and generally 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.039 make people held accountable, if not the mayor, certainly counsel. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.319 And it fits in too because this is kind of 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.080 like the October surprise, if you will, actually the November surprise, 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.160 and that is the shooting on Saturday, four people shot 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.360 outside Privy Nightclub and OTR are at one o'clock in 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:18.560 the morning, and of course you know the one in 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.560 Carthage as well, and you know when seven people are 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.880 shot in one dead, that generally gets people's attention. And 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.640 it's just a steady drumbeat of violence. I shared on 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.920 my social feed Facebook and at X at Scott Sloane 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.080 video of a man who found a gun outside Privy 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.240 Nightclub literally hours after the crime scene tape was cleared, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.880 and it's so, I guess, indicative of what the situation 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.600 is right now and how dire it is in Cincinnati, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.080 you know, handguns, maybe even using the crime or laying 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.520 literally steps away from where the investigation was and joining 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.160 the show this morning, is a man who founded the 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.840 gun and we're going to not use his name by 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.480 requests because of well, the people involved here makes I 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.240 would do this thing. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.680 Welcome to the show. How are you good? 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:03.520 How you doing dood? 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.120 I'm doing fine.

Let's set that up to you. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.160 It's not like you know, you're outside the city and 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.400 just happened to be walking down the street. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.440 You live like near there, right, Yeah. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.720 I live at block away, I mean to established kind 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.560 of you know who I am, And I've lived literally 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.760 a block away for fifteen years. So I moved down 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.920 to over the Ryne fifteen years ago, and you know, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.160 I kind of had this this business idea that I 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.600 was going to start buying abandoned property and fix them 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.240 up and rint them as apartments and you know, kind 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.480 of contributing to the you know, the presidence that you 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.359 know a lot of people have seen the neighborhood undergoing, 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.400 and that's exactly what I did. So I've seen I've 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.400 seen it all, you know, I've you moved. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.320 There for opportunities, like, hey, you know what, there's money 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.400 to made. Fifteen years ago, this great renaissance which we 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.080 need to long overdue. I've lived here for over twenty years, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.280 and in downtown was nothing for many, many years, and 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.120 all of a sudden, we have this renaissance downtown. You 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:03.800 want to be part of that makes some money investing 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.120 in the neighborhoods. Everybody wins. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.320 Yeah, it was it was cool living, you know, it 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.280 still is cool sometimes living and over there one I 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.480 mean I live, you know, literally right next to I 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.360 was there before rhyine Geist, which is kind of crazy 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.600 to think about. It was just an abandoned warehouse when 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.240 I moved in, and uh, you know, a block from 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.560 Family Market, and you know, really what's happened is so 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.880 when I you know, when when a block is kind 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.000 of undergoing a resurgence or a renovation, a lot of 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.080 times what happens is there's abandoned properties. And then what 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.440 is critical is what what becomes of those abandoned properties? 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.640 Right what goes into that storefront or into that property. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.240 And you know, in my situation, like ryan Geist, going 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.000 in across the street was critical to like making my 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.080 investment or my living experience a good one. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.040 And now now that feels like it's in jeopard does 0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.840 feel like it's going the other way. We're reverting back 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.080 to when you first moved in. It looks like we're 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.760 taking steps backward relative to what's happening, literally steps away 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:06.360 from where you live. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.000 Yeah, so let me paint a picture. So north of 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.600 Liberty Elm Street, which is where I live, let me 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.880 kind of paint a picture of like some of the 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.480 most recent developments. So we've got the thing that Privy 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.160 was a club before. So when I first moved there 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.159 was a school, and after the school it became E nineteen, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.800 which was a gay club and they were awesome. We 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.960 loved them, never any police problems. After that, it became 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.000 Posh Nightclub or Posh, which was like an event center. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.760 I guess you could ran or have birthday parties there 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.479 and then and then that closed and then that's when 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.919 it was sold to the current ownership and became Privy. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:52.400 And so not only Privy went in. And then I 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.520 don't know if you followed the shooting at stagger Lee's 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:55.560 was up in Clifton. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.400 Yeah, the individual fire went back and it was like 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.120 a down on a teenager fourteen fifteen with a gun 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.599 shoots his dude, tries to jack his phone or jack 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.720 him he should. The guy pulls a gun out himself, 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.440 fires and the teenager ran a couple of steps and fell 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.760 over dead. Yeah, I remember that, like literally right there. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:12.480 You see. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.240 So they closed in Clinton and now they're they're my 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.560 new neighbor directly across the street. So now they're the 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.440 liquor store. And that is basically backing up to the VOA, 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.440 which is one hundred and forty four bed prison, just 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.400 a bunch of sex offenders and murderers. And I don't 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.839 if you remember the Anthony Kirkland story when you know 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.440 he murdered you know, he was supposed to be the 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.960 VLA that the jail thought he was. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:36.520 At the VOA. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.360 The VOA thought he was in jail, his. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.599 Lost track of the serial killer, and he went and 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.120 murdered a little girl. Yep. So anyway, and then you 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.600 know directly you know where I live. They're very controversial 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.120 forty four unit permanent support of housing that city council. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:53.920 You know, it actually went all the way to the 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.440 High Supreme Court, I believe because the lot that they're 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.279 building this single was only zone for twelve units and 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.040 they are trying to put forty four chronically addicted, homeless, 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.960 you know, alcohol addicted, directly next to a nightclub, directly 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.200 next to a liquor store, directly next to privy. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.880 There's temptatious tell you you're trying to get clean, you're 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.719 trying to get sober. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.760 We're trying to rehabilitate these people. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.800 And we've put a liquor store in a nightclub right 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.880 and for the literally steps steps away. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.640 And literally like and then I'm sitting there and you know, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.280 I've got you know, four and five neighbors and this 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.520 is what we've been watching for the last year. It's 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.080 just like, you know, we were doing good and you know, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.640 we're we're all taking doing cleaning up our leaves and 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:35.200 taking out the. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.479 Trash and doing the job. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.520 And then and then there's one decision after the next, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.960 and there's. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.160 Like like there's no planning there whatsoever? 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:42.359 Is it? 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.839 Like, Hey, we have a we have a diabetes treatment 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.440 center here and we put in a dairy queen in 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:46.960 the food court. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.240 Well, what the hell are we doing here? 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.320 And I want you to know, like We've called like 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.200 like city city Hall in the mayor, Like I've called 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.120 Aftab's office. I've talked to his assistant, Like I let 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.000 he knows that they're putting a liquor store in directly 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.000 across the street from a permit support of drug addiction. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.320 How like, so like I want you to know that, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.000 like this isn't like they're not aware. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.200 You're making them aware. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.040 So no, we've we've done our part, you know, We've 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.880 communicated to them and let them know. Like, hey, if 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.560 the goal is to like make this neighborhood better and 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.880 faifer like you know, you're you're you're keep filling this 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.080 bucket up. Okay, you keep selling it up, you keep 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.880 sewing it up. And as we saw this past weekend, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.920 like the bucket's going to overflow, you know, and and 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.920 and you know it sounds. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.360 Like to me, it sounds like to me, okay, we're 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.520 just saying yes to everything. There's no sense of planning, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.440 but it feels good. Hey, let's get a rehab thing. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.480 This morning on the Scott's Loan Show, I've got the 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.040 man on. I'm remaining anonymous here for for reasons I'm 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.160 pretty obvious to everyone is that this is the guy 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.600 who found the gun. If you haven't seen the video, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.120 this has found the Privy Nights Club shooting on Saturday. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.440 Early Sunday morning, gets up for a walk in his neighborhood, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.000 lives right around the block, and uh, you can see 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.280 it on my X feet at Scott Sloan and you 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.880 see the gun there right in the grass. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.560 So let's segue to that. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.040 Now, you walk for a morning walk, and I think 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.080 the background is important because you know you're putting money 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.560 in the neighborhood. Things are great for a while. Privy 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.560 comes in. Maybe some of these are decisions, and that's 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.880 been under the left, this current administration. This isn't a Cranley, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.280 this is under AFTAB All this stuff has going on 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.120 because that is the pretext for what happened on Saturday. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.640 And crime is certainly violent crime, A lot of areas 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.400 is feeling out of control. Certainly property crimes are a 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:26.880 way out of control. At this point, I think those 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.120 two things are tied together. You're walking along at Sunday. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.520 But how many hours after they pulled the crime scene 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.960 tape off of the Privy investigation open the street back up, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.960 would you say that you found that gun liner? 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.560 Yeah, so this is early. It was probably nine am. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.120 I didn't even know a shooting had happened. Oh, Tom, 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.319 I was waking up of Sunday morning. I was walking 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.560 down the street and when I walked by the first 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.480 time I made a video, I'd just taken a video. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.280 We can't stand Privy because it's just been one. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.679 Thing after the next step for the next at the 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:58.560 next I took. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.600 A little video just to show like the trash that 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.160 was outside, you know, I thought that it was going 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.640 to be a good video to have to show like, hey, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.400 at the end of the night, this is how they 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.200 leave this place, and like this is just one of 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.240 the fifty reasons why, like we hate having to miss neighbor. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.640 And to turn the corner in my video into the 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.440 alley right in front of you know, the establishment, and 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.040 there was like looked like a murder scene. Like it 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.560 was just like a giant pool of blood and uh. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.520 And so that was the first time I was like, Okay, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.360 what happened to here last night? And I got on 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.240 the Citizen app and I saw that four people had 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:39.600 gotten shot and so so anyway, I looked and kind 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.960 of looked at the Citizen app as to where the 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.960 shooting looked like it took place around Privy, and I 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.120 just walked over there and just sitting right on the 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.320 grass was a handgun. And so I didn't even really 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.559 try to look. I just just there was just sitting 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.760 right there. And so I called the cops and said, hey, like, 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.000 I don't I think you guys like even like look 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.680 for this, but like the pistols sitting right here, it's 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.040 directly this is a whole other topic. But like I 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.360 saw some of the security footage. I actually went and 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.720 talked to the owner, who I've met a few times, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.480 and he like showed me some of the security footage, 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.679 and like the video is crystal clear. And so if 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.400 they don't make an arrest on this, like I have 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:23.480 no idea what we're doing. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.520 How many feet would you say from where you found 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.080 the gun was in proximity to the to the front door. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:29.400 Of the club. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.000 So the shooting happened on the I guess it'd be 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.480 the north end of Privy. There's a door. From what 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.679 he said, there was a group of individuals that were 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.520 trying to come into the club and they didn't want 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.960 to be searched. I will give you this, Privy does 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.360 have really impressive security, but it's the security is so 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.160 impressive that it's it realizes how it makes you realize 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.920 how alarming it is. Like these guys have boldtproof vests on. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.600 They look like swat swat gear. The guys that are 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.480 like searching you to get into privy. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:03.000 Wow. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.800 So the guys who are on the front door, right, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:11.480 the bouncers, they're dressed like paramilitary officers, paramilitary soldiers. Basically, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.520 I don't normal people like me and you and maybe 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.120 folks listening look at that and go, well, there's a 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.719 place I don't really want to spend my money. And 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.000 if you got a dress like that to keep people out, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.640 imagine we gets through the door. Imagine what's going on 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.880 behind the scenes, because let's face well, seen this before, 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.920 and this has happened in areas where we've had shootings 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.079 and problems, and it's always this and I again, I 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.520 don't want to false cast false aspersions here, but normally 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.520 there's like, okay, there's the answer for everybody. And then 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.320 the quote unquote VIP area where maybe friends, family, or 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.640 people who are known to the individuals who run the place, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.720 they kind of go in unchecked that we've seen that 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.520 happen before. You suspect maybe that's what's going on here. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.480 Yeah, So from what I was told, there's a group 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.720 I saw and they looked like they were twenty five 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.120 ish years old. There's maybe five or six guys. They 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.960 didn't want to get searched at the front door, so 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.199 they went over to the side door and then they 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.120 got really mad like when they couldn't get in. And 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.960 so I don't know this series of events, but it 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.200 sounds like they literally just started shooting at the building, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.320 which is insane. And it just kind of shows you 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.520 the kind of people that Privy is drawing literally to 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.680 my side yard, you know. And again, we've never dealt 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.720 with this with Ryan Geist. We've never dealt with this 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:29.960 with you know, Tablespoon Cooking Company or Kanji Sushi, like 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.959 just all of our neighbors like this where this is 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.720 the only neighbor we have. And again I want to reiterate, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.520 like this was a nightclub before now like this was 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.800 a different night and they were fine. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:42.640 We love them. 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.280 Because the people who are frequenting know they can get 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.840 in induce maybe some stuff that they can't get away 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.000 with it. Ryan geis to these other places, correct, correct, Yeah. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.040 And so this was the first weekend where this like 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.320 it became really violent. But we have been calling the 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.880 police and letting the city know for probably six more 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.680 six plus months that like it's every weekend. So what 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.640 happens is, you know, it's a problem. They're always fighting 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.640 outside and then really what happens is when they let 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.679 out at two am, it's just like a stampede of 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.440 noise and violence. And what happens is they don't go 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.720 home when they're at two am, so they like literally 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.120 go outside to their car and they have liquor bottles 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.680 in their cars that they probably bought at stagger Leaves, 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.320 and then they're just blairing their their music, you know, 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.160 just part oh my front yard. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.720 And if you call nine one way, you call it place, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:35.440 what's your response? 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.199 You know, sometimes they come, sometimes they don't. I mean 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.200 literally they'll be blocking Elm Street. I've seen like they're 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.880 like three cars wide just in Elm Street. Girls are 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.840 getting out, they're twerking, making TikTok videos in the middle 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.760 of Elm C Street. It's it's insane. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:50.800 I mean, it's. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:55.959 Totally insane behavior. It's completely unsafe, and you know, honestly, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.920 it's gotten to the point where like I have a 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.480 box fan that I sleep with now that it's like 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.920 my only way of like trying attempting to drown out. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.559 And you complain and they're like, well, there's nothing we 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.640 can do. We're understaffed, we're busy going after people are shooting. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.800 They're just making noise. When you talk to the mayor's office, 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.480 when you and I know you've done this as a developers, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.520 a guy who's involved in investing in the city and 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.520 living down there for fifteen years, what's your reaction from 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:22.920 the mayor? 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.600 So I call And when I call the Mayor's office, 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.160 I get his assistant, you know, like you can't just 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.800 call and talk to him. So she answers and I, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.520 you know, I tell her, hey, you know, she screens 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:35.640 the call, Hey what is this about? 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:36.120 Who are you? 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.240 And I say, hey, you know, my name is X, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.160 and you know, I'm calling to let you know, you know, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.280 what's going on in the neighborhood. And it's you know, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.040 and like he never, he doesn't, he's not going to 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.760 call me. I actually know him. I've met him several times. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.080 He's actually been in my house before because I interviewed 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.920 him for a video I made for somebody. But so 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.000 I know him, you know, And like I met him, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.240 and you know, honestly this is off topic. But you know, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.680 I saw his comment yesterday he made it. I think 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.240 I think it was Channel twelve or somebody got him 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:14.000 and and he his comment was something along the lines 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:23.720 of in light of this historically violent behavior, and he 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.680 blamed it on housing, not to comment. You hear it. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.920 Yeah, of course, it's all these other factors. You know, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.440 we just love criminals, criminals what they do. It's like now, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.680 now we've got criminals that are victims themselves, and so 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.320 you don't understand and like, well, I'd love to see 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.760 his attitude if people were doing that next to his 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.800 house where he was trying to live. But of course 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.640 that's a problem with a lot of these folks, and 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.760 especially progressive like this, is that they live in glass 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.400 houses and then cast dispersions on everyone else who wants 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.640 to clean up the streets. You don't understand the problem. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.800 It's a problem. It's a problem we live in because 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.560 that crap is not happened. Next after that, pureval, real 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.080 quick before I let you go, because we only got 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.440 a second or two here. You found the gun literally 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.360 hours after the investigation cleared it. Privy, they got the 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.200 crime scene to when you called nine one to one. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.800 I know they probably didn't tell you they came and 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.960 got the gun. Do we think it was used in 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.480 that shooting? Or this is unrelated? Because you know, I 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.640 think people look at this and go, did they did 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.120 the investigators miss picking that gun up off the street 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.280 or was it used somewhere else or just happened to 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.800 be There's so much gun violence around there that people 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.160 just randomly throw their guns. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.360 There the zero percent chances gun is not involved in 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.240 the crime. So I don't know if you if you 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.040 want to look on the north side of Privy, there's 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.640 bullet holes all over the cinder block. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:33.080 So they just. 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.520 Started shooting up Privy and this gun. I mean, based 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.400 on the bullet hole that I saw in the center 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.920 block and like the angle of them, it looks as 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.520 if they literally shot directly across the street and that's 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.400 where I found the gun. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:48.320 And so. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.120 I mean, how could that gun not be involved? 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:53.000 How did you miss that? 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.840 That's a bigger question for the police department, is that's 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:56.480 not a good look? 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.040 Yeah, yeah, I agree, And it was kind of weird. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.760 They just sent one woman officer. She came and just 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.119 like put on gloves, picked it up, and they didn't 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.240 like pick photos or anything. They just she just like 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.240 took it and put in her car and just left 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.360 and it was like okay. And then you know, they 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.679 called the fire department because in the alley there was 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.600 like what looked like a homicide scene. So the fire 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.320 department came and cleaned out all the you know, bleached 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:21.679 all the blood out of and it was just it 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:22.560 was a weird morning. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.520 I was just well, I mean, you're watching you invested 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.800 so much in your neighborhood and now you're seeing it 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.919 fall apart because of these broken policies and promises and 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.480 ideas that people who prey on others are not predatory 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.359 sociopaths and criminals, they're victims themselves, and this is what 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:38.200 you wind up getting. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.680 Sadly, Are you thinking of leaving? 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:42.199 Uh? 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:43.600 I mean that's a good question. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:43.880 Yeah. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.560 I mean I'm not gonna, like I'm heavily invested in 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.160 the neighborhood.

As we lose. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.879 Time another hour this weekend, Doctor Catherine, good morning, how 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:02.119 are you. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.240 I'm fine, Thank you, good morning, thanks for having me, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.520 and good morning to all your listeners as well. 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.680 I'm already just thinking about the time change getting depressed. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.359 I know, it's funny. 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:18.920 When I was younger, I mean, I love cold weather, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.400 love the snow and all that stuff, but the fifteen 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.960 hours of darkness a day, it really has an effect. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.000 The older I get, the worst it is. Is there 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.680 a connection with any age and lack of sunlight? 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.479 Well, we don't get as much sunlight when we get older, 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.399 do we. We're not outside playing all the time. You know, 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.840 kids are outside, We tell them go outside and play. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.920 And although you know, with a digital age it may 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:51.000 have changed a lot, but adults are behind the desk, 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.280 usually sitting under a fluorescent light, which is not good 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.320 for the brain at all. And usually we're sooped over, 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:05.600 we're dehydrated, we're drinking coffee to stay away, or maybe 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:11.720 eating that nice jelly donut, and we're just trying to 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:16.880 brace ourselves to get through the day. So the thing 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.879 to do in the morning is to drink some warm water. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.919 You can drink it with lemon, you can put a 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:27.000 little bit of apple cide or vinegar in there, which 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:32.119 is good for cleaning the kidneys and the liver, which 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.840 are two organs that help get rid of poisons. So 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:42.479 why do we get depressed? We become over poxified in 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.760 our bodies because we're stationary and the things we eat 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:53.120 aren't necessarily nurishing. They taste good though, So I tell 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:59.320 people think about the basics. Think about doing some deep breathing, 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:06.280 starting your day with an affirmation of something positive. Think 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.560 about that during the day and sip water. 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:11.800 Bring a water. 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:18.320 Bottle or water container, tip it all day. The brain 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:22.920 needs water to function, and most of us are dehydrated. 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.560 Especially when you're inside and the air is dryer, it's 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.520 not as humid. You're not, so you spend more time 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.280 and die. That's why you get sick because you're dried out. 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.879 So hydration is a critical thing to remaining well in 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.199 the winter months, for sure. What does the lemon do 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:35.520 for me? 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:36.199 Though? How does that? 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.280 Does that beat depression and the lack of sunlight? 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:38.600 Is it? 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:40.600 It's not vitamin D vitamin C. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.359 It's vitamin C. But it also helps to cleanse the liver. 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.520 And you know, God bless our livers because they're always 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.040 pulling poison out of our bloodstreams for us and trying 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.919 to get rid of it so it doesn't circulate so 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.480 much around the body, and the limit helps the liver 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.199 do that. It also helps the kidneys to function, and 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.919 it helps the water to taste better so you'll drink it. 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.119 So there's lots of good reasons. 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:09.399 You know. 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:15.280 The thought of this darkness is horrific for people. So 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.280 I help people look start by getting out in the 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.879 sun more often when there is sun. Try to take 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:27.880 your lunch break and maybe take something like a sandwich 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:32.600 that you can eat while you're slowly walking, or go 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.439 to the park and sit in the sun and they 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.960 have a little bite to eat. So that way you're 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.760 getting more sun even though we're not getting more sun. 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.399 That will help the brain a lot. 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:46.120 Right. 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:50.359 But here's the problem here, doctor Catherine Athens. Here's the 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.679 problem with Cincinnati, Ohio. Problem with Cincinnati, Ohio is we 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.320 literally will not see the sun until opening day this 0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.199 year when the red started, and even then that may 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.920 be again, but there maybe a couple hours. I think 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.399 in the next six months will see the sun. But 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.760 it's just a mere rumor. It's actually a lot of 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.879 people right around April start to question whether or not 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:11.960 the sun actually is this, if it's not just one 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.800 of those Internet rumors or a myth or fake news 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.560 or something like that, because we're pretty sure after by 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:19.879 the time we get through February that the sun just 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:21.040 doesn't exist anymore. 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.000 Okay, all right, Well, there are things you can do. 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.320 There is something called full spectrum light bulbs that you 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:34.040 can buy and replace your light bulbs at home with 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:39.800 the full spectrum because part of the seasonal effective disorder, 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.800 that depression, is we're not getting some of the spectrum 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:49.600 of the sun. If you're really bad off, there are 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.800 machines that you can buy. They're not too expensive, and 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.440 they will you can sit have them sit in front 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.520 of you. You can watch TV or listen to the 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:03.119 radio and they will project full spectrum light at you. 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.240 Okay, how many days? How many hours? 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:06.560 You know? 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.560 My wife got me one last year at Christmas. I 0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.840 said I'm gonna try. I never used it because I'm 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.120 just naturally positive. As you can tell here. 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:14.280 I am. 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.160 I'm a national treasure, is what I am, doctor, and 0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:19.760 I have a user. Yeah, I plan on maybe cracking 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:20.080 that thing. 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:20.199 Now. 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:20.680 How long? 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:22.520 How many hours a day? If you've got the happy 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:24.159 light as they call them. They're pretty cheap. You can 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.760 get on Amazon too. I didn't know. 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:27.639 About the light bulbs. You could put full spectrum light 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:28.560 bulbs on the same thing. 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.560 So if you got your I don't know, your easy 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:33.119 chair next to your couture, you know, light next to 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.520 your couch, use that when you're sitting there watching TV. 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.040 How many hours a day do you need that though 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:40.119 not very many. 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:45.080 Actually you could start off with maybe two, one in 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.800 the morning and one in the evening. You know that, 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.600 maybe two If you don't have two, start off with 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.679 twenty minutes a few times a day if you're home, 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:00.280 but at least twenty minutes okay at a time. It's 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:05.399 really very useful. It helps a lot. It helps to 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:11.880 retard that sad kind of syndrome in the winter with 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:16.040 no light. Another thing is, if it's too cold to 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:24.879 go outside, do some aerobic exercise inside. Get the blood 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:31.280 going through your body, you know, get circulation going along 0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.720 with the light, and that will help the feeling of 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:41.119 sadness and depression. It will actually make you feel better. 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.399 More positive. Well, exercise is good for you. 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.240 I mean, I know it's in the days that if 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.480 I go a few days between workouts, I notice I 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.359 start to get a little more tired and irritable than 0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:52.719 I normally am, and it's because I'm missing my workout. 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.960 So I get that Doctor Katin Athens on the show 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.280 this morning on seven hundred WLW got the time change. 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:01.600 We lose an hour, and now darkness will encompass us 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.919 and develop us here for the next five months roughly 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.080 in Cincinnati, we won't see the sun maybe for a 0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.200 couple of minutes, I think in the next five months 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.399 here too. Some may say the sun was cut out 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.800 in an extreme some sort of extreme budget cut or 0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:16.200 something like that, and or maybe the sun was captured 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.359 and stolen by aliens, or we just don't get so 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:20.200 you will not see the sun for quite some time 0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.879 in Cincinnati. That south is Does that affect your sleep 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:26.440 then too? I know that sun and sleep generally are 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.760 at odds with one another, but does it mess with 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:30.600 their sleep cycle too? 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:36.760 It absolutely does. Our sleep cycle or circadian rhythms all 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.160 get off. So I ask people to go to bed 0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:44.320 that hour earlier, even though it says, you know, it 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:49.720 says four o'clock, it's actually five. So go to bed 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.639 when you normally go to bed for a while, and 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:57.639 then you can increase your bedtime, maybe ten minutes each week, 0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.440 but go to bed. Try to remain in those same 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.880 habits you have and get a lot of sleep. And yes, 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:10.680 the sun, the sun activates trying to think of the 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.760 name of the organs in the back of your head, 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:18.320 and when you're in the sun, they're activated. When you're 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:22.439 in the dark, they secrete melatonin. So you want to 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:25.040 be in a dark room to sleep, but you want 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:29.880 to have had some full spectrum light, whether it be 0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:34.800 the Happy machine or your light bulb, or for some 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:41.200 reason there is some sunshine because that balances the brain. Now, 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:48.639 you notice in the wintertime people become less friendly, more irritable, 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:54.960 just because we're not moving as much and we're not 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:59.880 drinking enough water. I mean, just think about the holidays here. 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.400 You don't drink all year, and you don't eat much, 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:08.320 and suddenly you're drinking like crazy on Thanksgiving, You're eating 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.639 all kinds of stuff you never eat the rest of 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.280 the year, and then you feel miserable and you go, 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:14.720 why am I feeling so bad? 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:15.280 Yeah? 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.880 Yeah, I mean I'm living my life like a medieval 0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.600 king or something. I'm eating literally just eating giant geese 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:26.119 neck and drumsticks and I'm drinking wine and meat and 0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.560 I'm just having a blast. But then you feel like 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:30.439 crap after. It's kind of like when you eat all 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.000 the Halloween candy and same. 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:38.680 Thing right, right? So don't I tell people don't use moderation. 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:43.200 Yeah, but that's not fun. That's no fun, though, it's I. 0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.640 I'm the other extreme though. I believe in everything in 0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.200 its excess. I think if you, I think it'll balance 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.880 it ballances. I'll work out for three straight days and 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:52.480 I'm gonna eat for nine straight days? 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:53.120 What about that? 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:53.840 All? 0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:58.400 What most people do? You're right in the groove? Oh 0:28:58.440 --> 0:28:59.960 I worked out? Why am I gating? 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:00.360 Wait? 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.120 When did you work out last week? 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:02.480 Oh? 0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.080 Okay, Well, I don't. 0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.240 Want to rush into anything. I could strain. 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.160 Something that's true. 0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:10.160 That's true. 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.720 I don't want to jump in this exercise thing. 0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:17.440 You know, well at the time change here and losing 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:21.239 an hour sleep. It's also too trying to get your 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.880 body set because uh, you know the week when they 0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:27.040 tell you the clock changes, and then it takes you 0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:28.680 a week to get your body right again. 0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:29.320 Is it better? 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.120 Is it kind of like jet legs? Should you just 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.040 go to bed at the same time, or yes, go to. 0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:36.520 Bed at the same time. We actually gain an hour, 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:40.760 but the hour we gain is darkness. So go to 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:43.560 bed at the same time, get up at the same time, 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:49.880 and then slowly work into the new time zone. You know, 0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:52.200 if you can go to bed at the same time, 0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:55.600 get up at the same time. Drink your water. Now, 0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.120 if you want to know how much water you should 0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:01.680 as take your body weight eight. Say you weigh one 0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:07.120 fifty divided in half, that's seventy five and those are ounces. 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:11.240 You need seventy five ounces of water a day, which 0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:15.360 is huge. It's more than half a gallon. 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:19.760 Yeah, I think that's something you sip on a little 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:21.400 bit of water all day. Go I had like two 0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.320 bottles of water. That's not it's not for me. And 0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.840 then if you're active, you need even more water. 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:27.440 For that matter, if. 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:32.680 You're active, you need more water. And so the brain 0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:37.800 doesn't function without water. It doesn't function. Functions on glucose, 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.840 water and amino acids. And most of us don't get 0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:46.560 enough amino acids because we're dieting or we're eating some 0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.920 kind of green and we're not looking at the fact 0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.800 we need a variety of amino acids for the brain 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:56.840 to function properly, but we also need each other. We 0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:02.360 need human interaction face to face for the brain and 0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:07.600 the neural pathways to function properly. I recommend, if you 0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:11.440 do nothing else, go to the market or the hardware 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.760 store or the Walmart, whatever, and start saying hello to people. 0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:15.880 Hello, how are you? 0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:16.120 Yeah? 0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:17.720 Good morning? 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:18.960 What do you hate? 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:20.880 What if you just hate people? And is there no 0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.040 hope for you? Is it terminal? What's going on there? 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:23.360 Doctor? 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:25.120 Oh? 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:26.160 It could be no. 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.200 Ways, I say the reels, I don't go. It's because 0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:33.160 people piss me off. 0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:38.920 Okay, well, well that's another story. 0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:40.800 They're just too many idiots in the world. 0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:42.920 I think people will listen to you, right, Sloan. There's 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:44.320 too many idiots in the world. And that's why I 0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:45.160 tend to just stay. 0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:47.920 Home and eat and and be mindless of myself. 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:50.960 All Right, we have do you think? As a doctor? 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.720 And you studied this stuff again on the show this morning. 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:56.920 It's doctor Catherine Athens, and she is an expert in 0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.200 the area of sleep. And we've got one in five 0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:02.600 Americans parentcying winter blues. According to the Cleveland Clinic, and 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.560 they would know because there's no more depressing place in 0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:06.800 the world in Cleveland. So the Cleveland Clinic people, I 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.640 would agree with them, and maybe even two and five 0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.040 at this point too. But she's a clinical and health 0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:14.800 psychologist and she's on the show talking about the time 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:16.480 change here and what that means for you, how to 0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:19.680 combat with happy lights and making sure you're getting hydrated. 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:20.080 Well enough and all that. 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:22.360 Should we get away with daylight savings time in the 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:26.080 clock four o'clock back, nonsense, you bet you we should. 0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:30.280 And in California we voted I think six years ago 0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:33.480 to do away with that, but we still have to 0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:37.200 do it. Someone isn't listening to the people over here. 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.600 We have that problem here too, So it's not just Ohio, 0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:41.960 it's also California. 0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:46.000 Oh yeah, oh yeah, so you got bigger problems what 0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:50.280 issues here? 0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.760 But yes, time change the list of those problems you 0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:58.120 got over there, that's for damn sure. So uh yeah, 0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:00.479 it seems to me, I just keep one stay the 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.480 constant time and we're good there this you know, jumping 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.320 back and forth every six months. So really, you know, 0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:08.360 I could see back in the day where you needed 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.479 natural daylight in order to get stuff done. But we 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.240 have electricity. Now, we've had. 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:14.840 Electricity at least I think for the last three or 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:15.320 four years. 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:19.480 I believe, well, we do. But you know, the charcoal 0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:24.400 lobby wanted this daylight savings time because they found out 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:29.440 that was another hour or so of sunlight. They make 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:34.120 more money, the charcoal lobby. The charcoal lobby, no idea, 0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:35.120 blame them for this. 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.600 Good lord, there's a big big charcoals behind all. 0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:39.640 This big kings. 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:40.800 Yeah. 0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.960 Yeah, there's a lobby for any you got politicians, you'll 0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:44.040 have a you'll have a lobby. 0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:45.000 There's no doubt about it. 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:49.040 So doctor Catherine Athnes Athens at H A N. S 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.440 And thanks again for the time.

And of course that 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.960 pulls open we'll get a full data what's happening there. 0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.160 We'll also chat with the council candidate if you haven't 0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:05.960 voted yet. Anthony Weiner running for council one of the 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.719 what twenty nine people running for consols some along those lines, 0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.040 twenty six people. It's a lot, let's put it that way, 0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:13.759 A boatload of folks. Why should you vote for him? 0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:16.680 And what he sees from an outsider's perspective, what's going 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:18.640 on is Mayol race very interesting. 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.279 We'll get to that just ahead here Sloanly seven hundred WLW. 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:23.160 Do you want to be in American? 0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:26.640 That is election day in the Buckeye States, not so 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.160 much Indiana, Kentucky, mainly Ohio. Good Morning Scotsland Show seven 0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:31.680 hundred WW New York as well. 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:32.880 It's a big one. People are watching. 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.120 We'll continue to get results and again, polls close in 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.880 Ohio today at seven thirty. You do need an ID 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.959 if you are going there. Don't forget the damn ID. 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:44.360 You can go vote provisionally if you forget it, but 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:46.080 it's just easy to bring it with you. 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:46.440 Okay. 0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:50.719 So we got that going on and maybe a reckoning too. 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.160 And you kind of look at the tea leaves you 0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.440 see how maybe some polling's going alike in it. You know, 0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:58.400 his Aftab's race can be a little closer than he 0:35:58.400 --> 0:35:59.960 hopes it to be sure, and I think that's why 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:01.560 he's maybe sweating a little bit, maybe a little bit 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:04.839 of pressure there, But mainly I think it's a down 0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:06.840 ticket and that would be for counsole candidates. We have 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:10.759 nine seats available, and there are twenty six candidates, even 0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:12.600 if you include the guy that's in jail right now. 0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:16.959 And you know there's some I think there's some well 0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:19.440 thought people that might wind up losing their seats result. 0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:22.640 It just it seems to me like voters are going 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:24.640 to maybe take this out on the existing council as 0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.480 opposed to the mayor, just the way things work out. 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:28.799 One of the people seeking your vote today is that 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:31.400 Aaron Weiner. He's a realtor, lives in Clifton and a 0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:33.640 charter charter write a charter candidate for counsel. 0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:34.840 Aaron, Welcome to the show. How are you? 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:37.959 Thank you for having me, glad to be here. 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.719 Appreciate it. How's a campaign going this? Now that it's over, 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:43.000 I tell you what. 0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:46.719 I'm feeling good. I'm proud of the campaign that I've run. 0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.319 I've thought through it over the last seven months, where 0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:52.279 I've been, who I've talked, who I've met, and the 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.160 work I've done, and I'm feeling good. 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:57.600 The big issue here, it's a referendum on crime. 0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:02.040 As I portrayed and recandidate yourself included, is really leaning 0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:04.920 into public safety this point, I'll play a clip of 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:06.359 this a little bit later on. I don't have time 0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:07.480 right now with you. I want to give you the 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:10.560 most time possible. But at nine o'clock this morning, nine 0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.919 o six, I had a anonymous neighbor on A guy 0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:15.879 literally who lives in the shadows of the nightclub Privy 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.680 nightclub that was shot up on Saturday night, walks out 0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:20.759 the morning after. Didn't know what was going on, said, man, 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.719 there's crime scene tether stuff all over. Looks around, said 0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:25.479 there's a shooting there. So he walks down the block 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:27.840 and literally steps away from the back door where the 0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:29.520 shooting took place, he finds a gun. 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:30.839 I've got the video. 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:34.040 Up on my feed at AX and Scott Sloan, and 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.760 you know, it's just that kind of lack of attention 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:39.080 to detail. And I don't know if it's an indictment 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:40.600 against the cops or not. We'll get their side of 0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:42.279 the stor so why that weapon was missed or maybe 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:44.080 it's not even related to this or was just laying there. 0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:46.680 But that's frightening to think that you could have someone 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:49.440 denied access to a nightclub shoots up the place, and 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:52.440 it's just a steady drumbeat of public safety and crime 0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:57.960 because many people, yourself includive, invested their resources into developing 0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.359 that neighborhood and the neighborhoods in and around Cincinnati. Living 0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:04.320 there and your livelihood and also your safety is threatened 0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.400 by the lack of attention to street criminals doing what 0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:12.120 they do. Correct you saw this in Clifton, did you not? 0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.480 We just had to shooting there on short line? How 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:18.120 much of public how much do you think the voters 0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.680 are going to use this as a referendum on public 0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:21.360 safety today? 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.919 I think it's the core issue in the city right now. 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:30.120 I think it's been very public throughout the summer, and 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.160 I think it's really it's really just a basic thing 0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:35.160 that people expect when you know from the from the city, 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.920 is that it's safe. It's it's what It's what attracts 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:40.399 people to move into the city, which makes them move out, 0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:45.120 It brings them downtown, it's what brings them the neighborhoods. 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:47.280 I mean, I think it's it's just a core responsibility 0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:50.799 and a core expectation of people in the city as 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:53.440 well as people come visit the city. 0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:56.040 Have you seen violencers? Has it affected you or you 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:56.600 live in Clifton? 0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:01.640 No, I mean honestly, other than we we did have 0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:05.040 the issue with the with the hookah bar. So I'm 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.160 not sure you're familiar with with that. That's been all 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:11.359 over the news, Yeah, on the neighborhood, and I think 0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.960 they just they just got shut down finally. We've been 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.279 working on this for two years, so, I mean, I 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.879 think that's certainly been an issue that that we've we've 0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:23.080 had in my neighborhood in Clifton. You know that that 0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:27.480 brought a lot of a lot of filent activity. There 0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:29.719 was there was a gun. There was a you know, 0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:32.800 a gun that was Brandish we saw back in the 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:36.120 summer there. As a result, you know, that's really kind 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:37.719 of been the main thing certainly we've had. We've had 0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.279 more low level crimes. There's always break ins, but that's 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.319 I think that's just normal. But the main thing that's been. 0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:45.359 The hookah bar, right right, and and uh, the previous guy, 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.080 the guy was on and honestly with a gun in 0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:49.200 front of Privy. He said, you know all time today, 0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:51.000 look the club a let out. People go to the 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:53.080 liquor store next door, a liquor store across the street 0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:54.960 by laquer Or, bring it with them, sit in their 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:58.600 cars around their cars and basically take the club to 0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:02.120 the streets and you know there'll be a loud music 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:04.240 being played all hours of the night. He'll call the police. 0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:05.960 They won't show up, they won't do anything. There's not 0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:07.600 enough of them that's not prioritized. 0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:08.000 He said. 0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:09.960 You know, sometimes it takes an hour, two hours to 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.719 get a response simply because they're overwhelmed. 0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:14.840 What is your plan to solve that? 0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:17.600 Because I understand it talking to officers, many more are 0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:20.480 leaving retirement, taking early retirement than more are coming in, 0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:24.800 simply because you know, if I work on a outside, 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:26.840 you know, we talk about a lttle recruiting class. Why 0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:28.760 would I want, maybe for a little bit more money 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:32.200 to risk my life, my family safety security to go 0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:35.080 fight a losing battle against crime in the streets of cincinnatiwork? 0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:37.480 Can I stay where I am? How can we incentivize 0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:38.080 police more? 0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.399 Well, that's that's a very good question, and I think 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:45.239 that's why I'm on here this morning. I've with my 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:49.480 with my team, I've done a research, it's a fifteen 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:53.000 page plus research to recruit and retain our police officers. 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.000 And you bring up a very good point, and we 0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:59.040 need to incentivize not just the police officers that we're 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:02.600 forced enough to have with us now on CPD, but 0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.960 attract new talent as well as lateral talent. And that's 0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:11.480 a two prong approach. The first prong approach is a 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:15.320 bonus structure. So you know, we've heard of in the past, 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.600 we've heard of corporate buyouts where you pay people to 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:21.319 actually retire early. This is kind of the reverse. We're 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:25.480 actually going to offer bonus structures to encourage police officers 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:28.560 to stay a year, two years, three years, with with 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:33.520 with sizeable bonuses to encourage them to stay. And to 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:35.319 your point, you know, with the with the issue we 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.960 talked about, you know the bar down town, you know 0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:41.800 the other night, one time, sort of sizeable bonuses to 0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:45.520 police officers that might work in more stressful areas in 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:49.279 order to incentivize them to stay. But I think these 0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.920 are ways of making sure that the talent that we have, 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:56.360 that we've trained, that we respect, stays with us as 0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:01.440 we beef up our our police force, which we are 0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:04.879 about two hundred down if not more at this point 0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.880 if you take into consideration the growth we've had in 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.120 our city. So that that's really the first prong of 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:12.560 that I'm trying. 0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:14.719 To stop the bleeding, so to speak. To use a 0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:15.280 bad pun. 0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:19.399 There, right, exactly exactly. So let's stay with us, work 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:21.880 with us. We're going to incentivize you. We're going to 0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:23.560 make it worth your while to stay with us. It's 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:25.840 going to get better. And I think that's sort of 0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:29.319 the first prong of this. The second prong of this 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.359 really involves my industry. So I'm in real estate. I'm 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.000 in twenty been in real estate twenty five years. And 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:39.280 when I when I started this process of running for council, 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.560 I wanted to work with what I know, and that's 0:42:42.560 --> 0:42:46.239 certainly that's housing, and that's housing. So but with that, 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:50.200 I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if our 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:54.080 police officers, more of them lived within our city limits, 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:56.719 and you know, they're not required to by law, they 0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:58.719 don't have to be required to, and I would never 0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:01.879 mandate that they have to. Like, let's sleepen the deal 0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:06.160 a little bit and encourage them to move here. And 0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:09.840 that would be sort of a recruiting, a recruiting tool 0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.359 for us. So how that's going to work. It's it's 0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:17.799 it's a down payment assistance program as well as a 0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:21.200 rental stipe. So the down payment situation will work like this. 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.960 So let's say you saved seven thousand, five hundred dollars, 0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.000 We'll match seven thousand, five hundred dollars. So all of 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:31.680 a sudden, you have fifteen thousand dollars down. And obviously 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:33.520 you can certainly put more if you have it right. 0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:37.920 But you have a fifteen thousand dollars down. That's five percent, 0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:41.200 which you can do on a three hundred thousand dollars house, 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:45.160 which is about the average price of a house incence 0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:47.400 not even right now. So I think that's it. Certainly, 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:50.279 with the cost of housing going up, I think that's 0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:53.600 certainly a way to attract that's interesting, you know, people 0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:57.360 to come to US versus maybe going to Green Township 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:58.920 for blue ashes rental towns. 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.840 Which which you don't have to incentive. I mean you 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:04.279 can get it for So you get seven match seventy 0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:08.480 five hundred dollars for first responder, and now it covers 0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:10.960 half of a minimal day, but you got to commit 0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:14.040 to five years of residency, closing costs, preferred finance, you 0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.400 got a lender rental assistance program you mentioned that is 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.279 it sounds to me like you're said It's like a 0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:20.920 mini VA program of programs they have federally for teachers 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.359 to incentivize them to go into teaching. Now we're trying 0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:24.880 to incentivize people to go into policing. 0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:26.640 Correct. 0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:27.040 Correct. 0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:30.040 And you touched on the second prong just early, which 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:34.080 is a rental stipend. So obviously not everyone's going to 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.279 want to rent or buy right away, or they mayn't 0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:38.360 have their needs to buy it. So the next promise 0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:41.759 of this is the rental assistant, So let you know, 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:44.200 maybe give them up to eight hundred dollars of assistance 0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:47.520 to rent. We'll partner with some of our larger property 0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:49.600 property owners in the city. 0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:49.839 To do that. 0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:54.319 And I think this could this could attract some of 0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:57.600 our younger people to want to come to come and 0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.360 work for us, because again, the housing costs of gotten 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:03.239 so high that this might be be a carrot for 0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.320 them to want to come work for CPT as opposed 0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:10.319 to other jurisdictions and again attract young talent for longeovity. 0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:12.360 All right, I like, so you're send him an incentive 0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:14.719 program to keep and retain the office we have now 0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.680 just to stem the time and go, hey, listen, be patient, 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:20.080 hold on a second. Here's here's some incentives for you 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:21.839 to stay, which is always good, and then to get 0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:24.839 the lateral recruitment classes, which we need because that's fast tracked. 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:26.960 That's already people who are police officers will pot a 0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:30.000 certified ready to go. You're just training up for Cincinnati. 0:45:30.360 --> 0:45:32.360 It's going to take considerable less time than the recruit 0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:35.320 classes that we have, and that's going to help stem 0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:39.080 things here, hopefully in Cincinnati. If Aaron Weiner gets elected 0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:41.120 to council today and he's joining the show this morning 0:45:41.120 --> 0:45:42.919 on seven hundred w O. But I like that plan 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:45.120 a lot. I like the fact you're a realtor. Realtors 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:46.080 generally are good people. 0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:50.480 Thank you. I appreciate I appreciate you saying that we've 0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:52.000 been compared to you know. 0:45:52.040 --> 0:45:53.680 Not no, no, no no. 0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:56.320 I'm married to a real estate broker, so I realtors 0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:59.120 are the best people I know for sure. Let's let's 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:02.280 segue here a little bit. And that's the public safety 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.759 element of that too. Speaking of property and like, of 0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:07.560 course we all witnessed what happened in Hyde Park Square 0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:11.640 relative to the coordinated communities playing there's a huge backlash 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.800 of that. My friends who down in Hyde Park. And 0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.399 I'm a pro development guy, but I get the fact 0:46:16.400 --> 0:46:17.839 that you have to have some skin in the game 0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:20.000 if you have a neighbor. We shouldn't completely look at 0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:22.120 neighbors and go, hey, they have final say on everything. 0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:24.600 I think it's an important and big seat at the table, 0:46:24.640 --> 0:46:26.960 but it's a big table. How do we make sure 0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:29.600 that doesn't happen again and at the same time encourage 0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.400 development in the city. If you solve the crime problem, 0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:34.759 that's going to go a long way. But there's also 0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:35.880 the development angle. 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.000 Here too, correct. 0:46:38.160 --> 0:46:42.320 So it's funny that you bring bring that up because 0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:46.240 I'm sitting here in my office on Hyde Park Square, 0:46:46.360 --> 0:46:50.200 which really is it's the Clubal Banker building, which is 0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:55.920 ground zero for that particular development. And you know, I 0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:59.160 think to answer your question, I think it's just it 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:04.799 does involve just strategic engagement, some just some discussion and 0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:08.560 and and we're in getting to yes. I certainly feel 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:11.319 like there is a deal to be made in in 0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:16.120 that equation. And certainly I'm also being in real estate, 0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:19.359 you know, pro development, and I certainly feel that that 0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:23.120 you know that there are buildings that have higher and 0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:25.600 there are space that have higher and better usage that 0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:27.920 we can we can work with here. So I mean 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.560 my bottom line is I feel like development and growth 0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:35.560 should enhance the neighborhood and not erase it, and certainly 0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:38.480 shouldn't just place people as much as possible. I mean, 0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:42.000 Cold World Bankers is a national company. You know, we're 0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:44.920 going to be okay, but you know, some of these 0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:48.120 smaller businesses may may not have as easy of a 0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:51.279 time with with this particular particular thing, and I feel 0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:53.879 like that's an important thing to think about. I think 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:57.040 another thing that to think about with that particular scenario 0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:00.000 is you know the apartment buildings that are here now 0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:04.160 now that actually is affordable housing. I mean that's you know, 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:07.719 below market rate rent in Hyde Park. So I mean, 0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:10.000 I think if we're going to talk about, you know, 0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:11.759 if our city is going to talk about we need 0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:14.759 affordable housing, which obviously we hear a lot, you know, 0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:17.520 why are we why are we okay with getting rid 0:48:17.560 --> 0:48:20.439 of some of the last affordable housing that you might 0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:22.640 see in Hyde Park? And I may say that because 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:24.799 it's below market rate rent. So it's just just something 0:48:24.840 --> 0:48:27.080 that maybe people haven't talked about that issue, which I 0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:28.879 think is so important to talk about as well. 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:31.840 Yeah, and I certainly neighbors need absolutely to have to 0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:33.799 have But but but I think if you you've seen 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:35.920 this in real estate with hoas and the smaller this 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:37.520 is a bigger scale than that. But if you left 0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:39.759 it up basically to the neighbors to decide, I don't 0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:43.000 think you'd probably have any development going on, would you. 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:45.360 No, absolutely not. I definitely feel like part of the 0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:48.000 part of that, part of that is part of that 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:53.520 is maybe maybe tailoring exactly that the feedback. So you know, 0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:56.400 we we here's the feedback, and here's the feedback in 0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:59.160 which in which you you know, what are your what 0:48:59.160 --> 0:48:59.919 are your main hot point? 0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:00.960 Are the three hot points? 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:04.640 And how do we get to yes? Not just not 0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:09.399 having this whole like broad, you know, broad discussion. That 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:11.320 might be one that just sort of tailoring that, tailoring 0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:16.600 the different points. But also you know, I'm my my 0:49:16.640 --> 0:49:18.960 background is in real estate. I was just so I'm 0:49:19.080 --> 0:49:22.440 used to having another reiltro on the side, a buyer, 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:25.760 a seller, so you know, my my my whole goal 0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:29.759 is getting to yes. So I feel like you find 0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:32.440 you find the pain points, you find the places that 0:49:32.480 --> 0:49:35.360 you think you can find some you can find some agreement. 0:49:35.880 --> 0:49:38.160 Where is there some middle gramm where we can where 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:42.120 we can grow or learn or or stretch. And I 0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:45.520 think ultimately, like in the perfect scenario, everyone feels like 0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:49.720 they've given a little more than maybe just like everyone 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:53.320 gets compromised and we put a deal together. 0:49:53.480 --> 0:49:54.440 That's in that firsthand. 0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:56.640 And and there's sometimes where as you know in real 0:49:56.719 --> 0:49:59.200 estate deals, and sometimes you're you're miles and miles apart, 0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:01.560 and literally when it's hours, it all comes together. It's 0:50:01.560 --> 0:50:04.640 just it's the damnedest thing. But concessions have to be made. 0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:06.719 And that's being a good negotiators. 0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:08.880 You are erin. That makes a lot of sense to me. 0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:10.040 It's kind of what the city needs. 0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.720 Final question for you is, voters go to the polls 0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:15.319 today here in the Buckeye State till seven thirty. And 0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:17.600 it's Aaron Weiner on the show. One of the twenty 0:50:17.600 --> 0:50:20.279 six council candidates, maybe twenty five console candidates. You got 0:50:20.280 --> 0:50:23.040 one behind bar, So I'll bank at twenty five Aaron 0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:25.399 in this case. So how much has to change within 0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:28.279 the city And maybe in the mayor all race, we'll 0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:30.440 see what happens there. I think you have to have wins, 0:50:30.719 --> 0:50:32.879 but maybe a little closer than he likes. I think 0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:35.080 the consensus is going to be about what happens to 0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:38.160 council though, and how things that make up of council changes. 0:50:38.239 --> 0:50:40.040 How much is going to have to change in council 0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:42.600 for you to get these things done? That's the big question. 0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:45.000 You may get elected, but are you pushing a boulder 0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:47.400 up the hill? 0:50:47.560 --> 0:50:49.640 Well, to be honest with you, I think that's certainly 0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:53.239 up to the voters, right, I mean, I think there's 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:56.800 a different speculation on there's going to be two seats 0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.759 that might might come bake at three two three four. 0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:07.319 I think in order to have successful conversation, you have 0:51:07.440 --> 0:51:10.759 to have a balance of power. And I think if 0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:13.279 we can see a balance of power, and I think 0:51:13.280 --> 0:51:17.719 if we can see some more maturity. You know, I'm 0:51:17.760 --> 0:51:20.520 fifty six years old. I've had a lot of life experience. 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:24.839 I've worked in both nonprofit as a volunteer. I run 0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:27.480 a successful business. I feel like if you get some 0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:33.000 maturity on council and you get some stronger personalities and 0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:37.160 maybe some different your points, maybe a little more centrist, 0:51:37.480 --> 0:51:40.480 maybe even someone who's a little more right, I feel 0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:43.319 like we'll have some more powerful conversations. 0:51:43.640 --> 0:51:46.440 Yeah, divided government is better real quick here before I'll 0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:49.880 let you go erin if you're in, if you're on 0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:53.680 council and you're in council during the riot or during 0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:57.000 the rights, during the July twenty six beat down, the 0:51:57.000 --> 0:52:00.600 brawl Fountain Square, what's happening in Cliff and over the 0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.320 Ryan and elsewhere, but particular the firing or chaff chriff 0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:06.720 for Police Chief Terry Fiji, will you ever spoken against 0:52:06.760 --> 0:52:08.719 the mayor? What do you have stepped up? Because no 0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:10.759 one in council I'm saved. Maybe a couple of people 0:52:10.760 --> 0:52:13.560 I've had the show have stepped up and denounced the 0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:14.960 mayor and I was handled this whole thing. 0:52:15.200 --> 0:52:16.200 Would you have stepped up? 0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:23.680 You know? I mean it's such a loaded question because again, 0:52:24.160 --> 0:52:30.919 my my career has been so much about collaboration and 0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:35.879 playing nice in the sandbox now, so I've never I've 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:43.200 never been one to necessarily want to denounce someone publicly, 0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:46.680 So you know, I'd have to, you know, I just 0:52:46.719 --> 0:52:49.319 love to say I think I think I think it's 0:52:49.400 --> 0:52:54.239 it's it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and look 0:52:54.280 --> 0:52:56.400 back at how things would have gone. I definitely would 0:52:56.400 --> 0:52:58.520 have liked I would like to have a united front 0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:06.719 on an issue and have some strategic united front procedure 0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:10.160 on it. It's not to say that I would not 0:53:11.960 --> 0:53:17.080 come at a council or a leader if I felt 0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:19.880 that what they were doing was wrong. Would it be 0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:23.480 publicly maybe, maybe not, would it be privately? Absolutely? 0:53:24.600 --> 0:53:27.759 Aaron Weiner, council candidate, pulls up until seven thirty. I 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.520 wish all the best luck in the world. We do 0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:33.439 need some change within those nine members. Guarantee at least 0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:36.560 one because Victoria Parks isn't running, she said, and rightly 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:38.680 so we'll fill at least one seat. But I wonder 0:53:38.680 --> 0:53:41.120 how many it's going to take in order for the 0:53:41.160 --> 0:53:43.800 administration to pay attention just how serious this crime issue is. 0:53:43.800 --> 0:53:46.640 Above all, alls Aaron, all the best, good luck today. 0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:48.480 Thank you, thanks the opportunity you sir. 0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:51.000 I've got to get a news update in and win 0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:52.600 a return will kind of maybe a little list, but 0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:55.799 rehash the nine o'clock hour and if you missed it, 0:53:55.840 --> 0:53:57.919 I had a discussion with the neighbor found the gun 0:53:57.960 --> 0:54:00.920 in front of Privy after the the police had already left. 0:54:00.920 --> 0:54:02.239 There's a gun lay and they're like, well, kind of 0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:04.440 miss this, how that fits in the grand scheme of 0:54:04.440 --> 0:54:06.200 what we're talking about this election day. Scott's loan show 0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:08.040 continues next we'll get your calls in as well. On 0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:14.319 seven hundred Scott flown here seven hundred l W. I'm 0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:17.320 sure hearing that the Logan Wilson dealt by the Bengals 0:54:17.360 --> 0:54:20.600 to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh round draft pick 0:54:20.640 --> 0:54:23.400 on this decision day in more ways than one, not 0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:25.839 only of that to the deadline for the NFL and 0:54:26.040 --> 0:54:28.600 the deadline for voters today to get out and you 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:30.840 have the seven thirty if you're in Ohio, bring an 0:54:30.880 --> 0:54:33.240 id Witchham and got a bunch of ballots and certainly 0:54:33.239 --> 0:54:35.960 a lot of levees issues. CPS has one probably talking 0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:38.680 to folks from CPS about that tomorrow. Things are looking 0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:41.400 good for that the interesting one, and I think the 0:54:41.440 --> 0:54:44.480 eyes of the region are on Sinday. Cincinnati. That's a 0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:47.040 little of the big one. Yeah, yeah, Like I said, 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:49.440 you've got some school levies and issues and school boards 0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:51.920 and stuff like that. But it's an off year election 0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:54.600 cycle and an important one though in Cincinnati because you 0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:59.200 have a mayoral race and you also have the council race. 0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:01.120 I think the may have been saying, it seems like 0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:04.640 that's a lock for Aftab just not if he wins, 0:55:04.640 --> 0:55:06.719 but how by much and what that means, what that 0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:09.840 message is narrow the margin, the more he's going to 0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:12.200 have to pay attention to what he's been ignoring, and 0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:15.400 that also changes his trajectory because clearly he is a 0:55:15.400 --> 0:55:17.680 guy who's in it for higher office than the mayor 0:55:17.680 --> 0:55:20.160 of Cincinnati. Kind of felt that way for a long time. 0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:22.080 There's a number of politicians are like that that they 0:55:22.080 --> 0:55:25.160 seem they're just biding their time to get a bite 0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:28.040 at a bigger apple, so to speak. But it has 0:55:28.080 --> 0:55:31.160 not been going well lately for him because, certainly on 0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:33.920 this show and others, we've been pretty much attacking him, 0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:35.640 not because he's a Democrat, I know that's the thing 0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:38.000 is now, oh you're a Republican station and not actually 0:55:38.080 --> 0:55:41.239 true or more libertarian, but not attacking him because he's 0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:43.600 a progressive or a Democrat. I'm attacking him because of 0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:46.160 the policies and because what it has wrought. And this 0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:49.879 is the seeds that he sowed four years ago are 0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:53.360 now sprouting and quite only turning into weeds at this point. 0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:55.799 Thought that they may be flowers but it turns out 0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:58.080 a lot of its weeds, and the weeds, of course, 0:55:58.120 --> 0:56:01.080 are the problem of crime, and those weeds have grown 0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:02.680 to the point where they get their tentacles around the 0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:04.640 heart of the city at this point, and it's choking 0:56:04.680 --> 0:56:06.960 it out. First hour of the show this morning at 0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:08.879 nine oh six. If he missed it, you can catch 0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:11.279 it on the podcast following the show at the twelve 0:56:11.280 --> 0:56:13.400 o'clock today. So listen to it as a and I 0:56:13.440 --> 0:56:15.239 had him on and people are like, well, how do 0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:16.840 we know who it is as a real person? Is 0:56:16.880 --> 0:56:20.160 it not fame made up? It's a neighbor who lives 0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:23.920 literally steps away from Privy, the nightclub, the last example 0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.239 of the bloodiness that is Cincinnati, the senseless violence at Cincinnati, 0:56:28.120 --> 0:56:30.439 and he lives right there. He is a real estate 0:56:30.480 --> 0:56:33.680 guy himself speaking of you know, we just had on 0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:36.560 here in Aaron Weiner, council candidate, realtor had some good 0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:39.160 ideas I think to try and get cops staying but 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:43.879 also coming to the city of Cincinnati. But in this case, 0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:46.960 a guy who's developing the neighborhood. He's you know, renting, 0:56:47.560 --> 0:56:49.600 fixing places up, renting them out. So you got some 0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:51.920 affordable housing. You probably get some retail on stuff down there. 0:56:51.920 --> 0:56:54.719 His skin in the game and lives there, and he 0:56:54.840 --> 0:56:56.480 was on in the first hour of the show this 0:56:56.560 --> 0:57:00.600 morning describing what life is like on there now. And 0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:03.319 it's about Privy because it's in the backyard. But I 0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:07.200 think Privy is emblematic of the problem overall because he 0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:10.239 mentioned that, you know, years ago, you didn't have much 0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:12.839 downtown before Rhinegeist was rhein Geist and all those things, 0:57:12.920 --> 0:57:14.840 and so the wonderful development that he's a part of, 0:57:15.200 --> 0:57:18.040 and now he feels like it's slipping away. You know, 0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:22.320 if you're the person. And there's countless people, countless hundreds 0:57:22.360 --> 0:57:24.320 of people who do what he did, and that is 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:26.400 they buy some property. They had an opportunity to buy 0:57:26.480 --> 0:57:28.480 low and maybe sell high. That's American dream. That's how 0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:31.880 he made money, put his own hard work and savings 0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:34.920 into buying properties, and that led to other properties and 0:57:35.000 --> 0:57:37.760 so on and so forth. And everything that was promised 0:57:37.760 --> 0:57:39.479 to him is like, hey, come down, you can get 0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:41.400 you can get a parcel of land, you can get 0:57:41.400 --> 0:57:43.520 a vacant building, and a market or a lesson market 0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:46.680 rate place will incentivize you to develop it and build 0:57:46.720 --> 0:57:48.720 it in three CDCs involved on that great stuff, and 0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.280 we had we had this great renaissance in Cincinnati not 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:53.280 that long ago, and you feel like it's all in 0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:57.400 jeopardy because of an unchecked criminal element, simply because we 0:57:57.760 --> 0:58:00.360 got too complacent when it came to crime. One of 0:58:00.360 --> 0:58:02.960 those was, hey, we've got enough cops. We don't need anymore. 0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:05.240 Things seem to be going well, so why are we 0:58:05.240 --> 0:58:07.600 spending all this money on fighting crime? Well, okay, see 0:58:07.600 --> 0:58:09.560 what happens when you ease your foot off the gas 0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:11.760 a little bit, and then you have policies, And this 0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:14.320 is where I would attack after about it's the policies. 0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:17.919 The policies are that we're going to not go after 0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:21.160 individuals because we feel that criminals are victims too. 0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:22.320 That's not true. They're criminals. 0:58:23.480 --> 0:58:25.920 And there's so many good people of all different walks 0:58:25.920 --> 0:58:30.080 of life, socioeconomic, race, creed, and color. It's not about them. 0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:33.960 It's a good people versus the predators out there. And 0:58:34.040 --> 0:58:35.560 I have a sense that the people in front of 0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:38.520 Privy are predators. Does it make a lot of sense 0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:40.360 that you shoot up a nightclub because you can't. I 0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:44.440 just doesn't make any sense. And it's disturbing because it's 0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:46.240 a quality of life issue. No, and it's also a 0:58:46.280 --> 0:58:48.400 public safe The public safety is huge, right, It's like 0:58:48.440 --> 0:58:51.440 one of the three big things that local governments and 0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:53.760 control of, you know, certainly the streets and the sidewalks 0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:57.360 and keeping the snow cleared, removing the trash. The other 0:58:57.400 --> 0:58:59.400 one is the biggest one is public safety. And if 0:58:59.440 --> 0:59:02.480 there's a person option that you're not safe, you're not 0:59:02.520 --> 0:59:04.640 going to see people invest in downtown and OTR in 0:59:04.640 --> 0:59:08.360 these neighborhoods. And we need more development, not less, because 0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:11.600 we continue and continue to fall behind. And so you 0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:13.920 don't think the war is lost, but they've set it 0:59:14.000 --> 0:59:17.040 up so much by this hands off, feel good policies 0:59:17.960 --> 0:59:20.040 that it has led to where we are right now. 0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:22.800 I'm just curious as a voter, if you're there voting today, 0:59:22.920 --> 0:59:25.200 I've voted that you're going to take this out maybe 0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:26.720 on the mayor maybe you won't vote, but I think 0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:28.960 there's a lot you know, most most of Cincinnati, you're 0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:31.640 a Democrat, you're progressive. You're not going to not vote 0:59:31.680 --> 0:59:34.600 for maybe you don't vote for AFTAB. You're probably not 0:59:34.640 --> 0:59:38.040 going to vote for Corey Bowman because he's a Republican. 0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:41.480 I understand that, but at the same time, I wonder 0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:43.720 what level accountability you hold the members of council. 0:59:43.760 --> 0:59:44.560 That'll be the big one. 0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:47.560 And there's nine seats up for grabs with twenty six 0:59:47.600 --> 0:59:50.600 people going for it, and I wonder at least one 0:59:50.640 --> 0:59:53.200 because Victoria Parks is running anymore, so there's one seat. 0:59:53.240 --> 0:59:55.200 But you wonder how many more people get displaced on 0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:58.640 council because the voters are frustrated and scared for that matter. 0:59:58.680 --> 1:00:01.040 And I don't blame you at all for that. This morning, 1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:02.680 as I said, at nine oh six, I had on 1:00:02.760 --> 1:00:05.800 the neighbor who found the gun in front of Privy 1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:09.000 or next to Privy anyway, and just kind of edited 1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:10.320 up a little bit so you can get idea if 1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.840 you missed that. Here is our conversation from about nine 1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:14.919 this morning. Again it's on the podcast I'll following after 1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:17.280 the show. And I asked this individual and wanted to 1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.760 rename anonymous here and the videos up on my ex 1:00:19.760 --> 1:00:21.680 feed at Scott Sloan if you haven't seen it yet, 1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:23.480 and what time he was out there and what time 1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:24.160 did you find the gun. 1:00:24.640 --> 1:00:26.640 I'm honored to be a part of the show. I'm 1:00:26.640 --> 1:00:27.520 glad to be talking to you. 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:29.240 I appreciate you. What's your take on all us? 1:00:30.480 --> 1:00:34.440 Oh, I'm more so. Okay, I miss I missed the prompt, 1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:37.400 so I just tuned in on the part where the 1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:39.000 guy calls something about m Street. 1:00:39.080 --> 1:00:40.320 Right, Yeah, he. 1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:41.080 Talking about. 1:00:42.480 --> 1:00:44.959 This is a guy who lives like literally steps away 1:00:45.000 --> 1:00:47.080 from the from Privy Nightclub. He's the guy that found 1:00:47.080 --> 1:00:49.800 the gun in the grass after the shooting on Saturday. 1:00:50.040 --> 1:00:51.400 And then this is after the investigation. 1:00:52.720 --> 1:00:57.320 Oh wow, Okay, I was more so. I want to 1:00:57.360 --> 1:01:00.560 say that a lot of people living over right right 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:05.280 and kind of grew kind of grew up in over 1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:09.480 the run, right. I do have conservative views, if that's okay. 1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:16.640 And yeah, a lot of people who have done any 1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:19.120 dirt down here, they don't live down here, if that 1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:20.680 makes sense. So I heard I heard them say something 1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:22.800 about just torking on the cars and all of that. 1:01:23.040 --> 1:01:25.120 When you wrop off the park once you see those people. 1:01:25.720 --> 1:01:27.560 You don't see those teenagers at the park because their 1:01:27.560 --> 1:01:29.240 mom don't play right, because we do still have six 1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:32.760 and eight down here, right, So a lot of people 1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:35.200 who come down here to do their dirt, to do 1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:38.840 their violence, they don't live down here, they catch the 1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:43.440 bus to come down here to cause havoc in our neighborhood. 1:01:43.640 --> 1:01:46.000 And it's unacceptable, right, And. 1:01:47.080 --> 1:01:48.040 Well, yeah, I mean think about it. 1:01:48.120 --> 1:01:50.200 You know, you're not living that there's that club and 1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:52.600 it caters to a certain clientele that because there's so 1:01:52.640 --> 1:01:54.720 few people that are willing to do that. And let's 1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:57.800 face it, I mean, Sarah, you know, there's a reason 1:01:57.840 --> 1:02:01.040 why that element has attracted that club, right because maybe 1:02:01.040 --> 1:02:03.080 they're looking the other way. Maybe you know, I know this, 1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:07.280 he's okay, hey, come in, you have weapons, you have drugs, 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:09.360 you have god knows what you're getting in there. It's 1:02:09.360 --> 1:02:11.440 gonna attract that kind of element because you know, the 1:02:11.440 --> 1:02:14.240 word gets around that they're cool at at at Privy 1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.200 and so this brings that element there, and it's going 1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:19.880 to bring people with their cars. It's gonna because you said, buses, whatever, 1:02:19.880 --> 1:02:22.240 somebody's gonna ride and where this is the spot we're 1:02:22.280 --> 1:02:24.360 going to this and that's gonna attract all that from 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:26.960 all around the city that you. 1:02:26.920 --> 1:02:30.560 Know what that that is, that is true, that is 1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:33.520 that is true to a certain extent. You know, But 1:02:33.680 --> 1:02:35.960 when you also, when we come down here to live 1:02:36.000 --> 1:02:39.640 down here, we have to we we don't want to write, 1:02:39.760 --> 1:02:43.320 but we have to expect, uh sort of that sort 1:02:43.360 --> 1:02:46.680 of that element because this, this neighborhood isn't known to 1:02:46.800 --> 1:02:48.680 be the best, right And like you said, people are 1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.720 coming from everywhere to invest in down here. They have 1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:55.680 to understand that a lot of this stuff and I'm 1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:57.640 also convinced that a lot of this isn't going to 1:02:57.760 --> 1:03:00.680 change either, right, Like I feel bad for the police 1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:02.680 chief because she did come out and I heard it 1:03:02.760 --> 1:03:05.600 on WEBN, she did come out and say that she 1:03:05.600 --> 1:03:09.200 didn't have enough cops to patrol. Because I lived right 1:03:09.200 --> 1:03:12.440 where that sixteen year old got shot. Someone else got 1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:16.320 shot on next to Tina's. I live near there. So 1:03:18.080 --> 1:03:20.120 it's just sad and it's horrible because it is a 1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:23.920 beautiful neighborhood. Whether it's we're we're some mixed neighborhood, right, 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:26.320 it is a beautiful neighborhood. And those of us who 1:03:26.440 --> 1:03:29.120 live down here, even though Section eight people, even us 1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:31.720 who like myself work every day five days a week 1:03:32.000 --> 1:03:35.760 and go to work and come home, we we like. 1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:38.120 I sense, you know what, here's the thing here. I 1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:40.040 feel you frustrated as well. 1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:41.680 It's like this is not you know, we've got those 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:43.440 the visitors in the city and it's black and it's 1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:45.360 white and all this and it's not It's like there's 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.640 good people and bad people. It's like, what the hell 1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:49.800 is so hard about You call ninety one one and 1:03:49.840 --> 1:03:52.440 they're you know, playing their blairing music and drinking liquor 1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:54.800 on car hoods at three o'clock in the morning, four o'clock, 1:03:54.920 --> 1:03:57.240 mar How hard is that to run those people off 1:03:57.240 --> 1:03:57.560 of there? 1:03:57.840 --> 1:03:57.920 That? 1:03:58.120 --> 1:03:59.520 And you know, we don't have enough cops, you know, 1:03:59.520 --> 1:04:00.840 like one hundred fifty cops short. 1:04:00.880 --> 1:04:04.200 They don't have time for that. But it's also the policies. 1:04:05.680 --> 1:04:06.680 I think they're scared. 1:04:07.040 --> 1:04:08.280 Yeah, maybe maybe too. 1:04:09.360 --> 1:04:12.560 I think our police are nervous to come and come 1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:14.800 out to calls because they typically don't know, like you 1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:17.360 you get a diservice or allowed if it's loud, they're 1:04:17.400 --> 1:04:20.120 not coming up. I've heard shots before and I'll literally 1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:21.920 put look at my clock, and they take about an 1:04:21.920 --> 1:04:23.080 hour and a half before. 1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:24.880 Yeah, they just back. And the problem is that they're 1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:25.280 backed up. 1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:27.800 And that is because like when you treat a criminals 1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:30.920 like they're victims in this whole feel good nonsense, this 1:04:30.960 --> 1:04:32.600 is what you wind up getting I mean, they're bad 1:04:32.640 --> 1:04:35.160 people in the world of all stripes. Like, I don't 1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:37.760 know why it's so damn hard just to take the people, 1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:40.360 regardless of what they look like, or what gender they 1:04:40.360 --> 1:04:41.000 are or what. 1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:41.919 I don't care. 1:04:42.000 --> 1:04:44.320 It's if you're doing bad stuff, you're you're you're wreaking 1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:45.880 havoc and ruining your neighborhood. 1:04:46.000 --> 1:04:47.680 You gotta get the hell out of there. Knock it off. 1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:48.439 It's not that hard. 1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:49.720 I appreciate. 1:04:50.680 --> 1:04:53.760 Well, guys, cut off there, all right. Let me let 1:04:53.800 --> 1:04:56.280 me get the audio in here again. From about nine 1:04:56.320 --> 1:04:58.360 oh six, you had the guy on the show, the 1:04:58.400 --> 1:05:00.880 neighbor who found the gun, because I was asking him 1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:03.400 about what time he actually found the gun in the 1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:04.200 morning when he's out. 1:05:04.080 --> 1:05:09.760 Loking, probably nine am. I didn't even know a shooting 1:05:09.760 --> 1:05:13.440 had happened. I was waking up of Sunday morning. I 1:05:13.480 --> 1:05:15.760 was walking down the street and when I walked by 1:05:15.760 --> 1:05:18.600 the first time I made a video. I'd just taken 1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:21.440 a video. We can't stand privy because it's just been 1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:22.320 one thing. 1:05:22.120 --> 1:05:23.760 After the next, after the next at the next. 1:05:23.760 --> 1:05:25.520 So I took a little video just to show like 1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:28.439 the trash that was outside. Yeah, you know, I thought 1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:30.280 that it was going to be a good video to 1:05:30.360 --> 1:05:32.480 have to show like, hey, at the end of the night, 1:05:32.640 --> 1:05:34.520 this is how they leave this place, and like this 1:05:34.560 --> 1:05:37.720 is just one of the fifty reasons why, like we 1:05:37.960 --> 1:05:41.040 hate having to miss a neighbor. And to turn the 1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:44.120 corner in my video into the alley right in front of, 1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:46.080 you know, the establishment, and there's like look like a 1:05:46.160 --> 1:05:48.000 murder scene. Like it was just like a giant pool 1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:50.800 of blood. And so that was the first time I 1:05:50.840 --> 1:05:53.760 was like, Okay, what happened here last night? And I 1:05:53.840 --> 1:05:56.600 got on the citizen app and I saw that four 1:05:56.600 --> 1:05:59.520 people had gotten shot kind of looked at the Citizen 1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:02.760 app as to where the shooting looked like it took place, 1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:05.280 and I just walked over there and just sitting right 1:06:05.320 --> 1:06:08.439 on the grass was a handgun. And so I didn't 1:06:08.440 --> 1:06:10.720 even really try to look. I just just there's just 1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:15.160 sitting right there. And so I called the cops and said, hey, like, 1:06:15.280 --> 1:06:17.160 I don't know if you guys like they can look 1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:20.120 for this, but like the pistols sitting right here, it's 1:06:20.160 --> 1:06:23.480 directly this is a whole other topic, but like I 1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:26.800 saw some of the security footage, I actually went and 1:06:26.880 --> 1:06:30.160 talked to the owner who I've met a few times, 1:06:30.720 --> 1:06:32.880 and he like showed me some of the security footage 1:06:32.920 --> 1:06:36.120 and like the video is crystal clear. And so if 1:06:36.160 --> 1:06:37.840 they don't make an arrest on this, like I have 1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:38.919 no idea what we're doing. 1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:41.919 How many feet would you say from where you found 1:06:41.960 --> 1:06:44.280 the gun was in proximity to the to the front 1:06:44.280 --> 1:06:44.840 door of the club. 1:06:45.960 --> 1:06:49.400 So the shooting happened on the I guess it'd be 1:06:49.480 --> 1:06:52.920 the north end of Privy. There's a door. From what 1:06:53.000 --> 1:06:55.120 he said, there was a group of individuals that were 1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:57.960 trying to come into the club and they didn't want 1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:01.400 to be searched. I will give you this, Privy does 1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:05.800 have really impressive security, But it's the security is so 1:07:05.880 --> 1:07:08.760 impressive that it realizes how it makes you realize how 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:11.360 alarming it is. Like these guys have boldproof vests on. 1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:13.280 They look like swat swat gear. 1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:16.440 Yeah, a couple of guys in tactical gear. Looks like 1:07:16.480 --> 1:07:19.080 they're headed into war as opposed to the front end 1:07:19.120 --> 1:07:20.400 of the place I want to go have not the 1:07:20.440 --> 1:07:21.560 place I want to go have beer. 1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:24.520 What about the shooters I saw and they looked like 1:07:24.560 --> 1:07:27.680 they were twenty five ish years old. There's maybe five 1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:30.120 or six guys. They didn't want to get searched at 1:07:30.160 --> 1:07:31.960 the front door, so they went over to the side 1:07:32.000 --> 1:07:34.680 door and then they got really mad like when they 1:07:34.720 --> 1:07:37.280 couldn't get in. And so I don't know this series 1:07:37.320 --> 1:07:40.120 of events, but it sounds like they literally just started 1:07:40.160 --> 1:07:44.560 shooting at the building, which is insane, and it just 1:07:44.640 --> 1:07:46.560 kind of shows you the kind of people that Privy 1:07:46.760 --> 1:07:50.280 is drawing literally to my sideyard. 1:07:51.040 --> 1:07:52.720 That was from nine oh six this morning. If you 1:07:52.720 --> 1:07:54.880 missed you one, hear the whole discussion. It'll be available 1:07:54.880 --> 1:07:57.920 on the podcast via iHeartRadio app for free, so you 1:07:57.920 --> 1:07:59.800 can download that listen to your own time, or just 1:08:00.120 --> 1:08:02.240 you know, check it out then. But on this and 1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:04.280 the reason he's anonymous because while he has a fear 1:08:04.320 --> 1:08:08.160 of retribution from those people who frequent and own that 1:08:08.200 --> 1:08:10.920 particular club, it's a problem. It's problem invested in the neighborhood, 1:08:11.320 --> 1:08:12.960 has seen and then put a lot of his own 1:08:12.960 --> 1:08:17.120 money and hard work into affordable housing and bringing the 1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:19.120 neighborhood up, and now it's being torn apart because we 1:08:19.160 --> 1:08:21.280 don't have cops to run people off when they're partying 1:08:21.320 --> 1:08:24.840 after hours around there, drinking, working on cars, that kind 1:08:24.840 --> 1:08:26.880 of stuff. That kind of scene. It's a mess down there, 1:08:27.200 --> 1:08:29.519 and of course today being election day, you would think 1:08:29.560 --> 1:08:31.000 that there's some sort of wake up call from the 1:08:31.080 --> 1:08:34.439 voters of Cincinnati. Whatever that looks like. It's going to 1:08:34.439 --> 1:08:39.040 be interesting to have this discussion tomorrow. Yeah, and you know, 1:08:39.080 --> 1:08:40.479 I feel for you if you live in the city 1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:43.880 right now. I wonder if the interesting parts are going 1:08:43.920 --> 1:08:47.160 to be starting tomorrow after the elections. When the when 1:08:47.160 --> 1:08:49.760 the dust cells and smokes clear, do they change tech 1:08:49.960 --> 1:08:52.280 or they do simply go, hey, you know what we 1:08:52.320 --> 1:08:54.559 want re election, win our seats. We're going to continue 1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:56.920 the way things are. We're fine, no retribution whatsoever. We 1:08:56.920 --> 1:08:59.519 don't feel it from the voters. A lot on the 1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:01.479 line today for Share in the City. Scott Sloan Show 1:09:01.479 --> 1:09:03.759 and the Home of the Best Bengals coverage, seven hundred WLW. 1:09:04.000 --> 1:09:07.840 I don't want to be an American idiot, Scott Slowe Show, 1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:08.880 seven WWW. 1:09:09.080 --> 1:09:09.519 Good morning. 1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:13.839 Today is election day, of course in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. 1:09:14.280 --> 1:09:17.880 Don't forget the id I've been talking about the passing 1:09:17.920 --> 1:09:20.680 of President Dick Cheney, vice President sorry Dick Cheney, so 1:09:20.680 --> 1:09:23.760 I may say president, but vice President Dick Cheney. And 1:09:23.960 --> 1:09:27.799 it also marks today a very interesting anniversary the Iranian 1:09:27.800 --> 1:09:29.800 hostage crisis. He may not have been around when this 1:09:29.920 --> 1:09:31.719 was going down. I was a little kid, but vaguely 1:09:31.760 --> 1:09:35.879 remember this and specifically our attempt to rescue the fifty 1:09:36.000 --> 1:09:40.880 hostages taken by the Islamic militants in Tehran back in 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:43.879 nineteen seventy nine that stretched into nineteen eighty and impacted 1:09:43.920 --> 1:09:47.400 the nineteen eighty presidential campaign. And Ben McIntyre's here writes 1:09:47.439 --> 1:09:50.120 about this in the siege and obviously some parallels here 1:09:50.160 --> 1:09:52.400 to what is transpiring our hass transferred, i should say, 1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:54.200 in Israel with the moss and hostage is there, Ben, 1:09:54.240 --> 1:09:54.800 Welcome to the show. 1:09:54.840 --> 1:09:57.080 Good morning, Thank you very much, great to be honest. 1:09:57.200 --> 1:10:00.360 Yeah, So the backstory here history, and you know, if 1:10:00.400 --> 1:10:03.439 we think radical Islam, Islam is something new, I mean 1:10:03.479 --> 1:10:05.840 we really saw this in the late nineteen seven, mid 1:10:05.840 --> 1:10:09.280 to night late nineteen seventies, culminating with the taking of 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:12.759 fifty Americans, including a Cincinnatian, held hostage at our embassy 1:10:12.800 --> 1:10:13.240 in Iran. 1:10:13.320 --> 1:10:14.560 And it went on forever. 1:10:15.240 --> 1:10:18.000 And this is really what sunk Jimmy Carter in his 1:10:19.240 --> 1:10:21.280 quest for a second tem I. The economy was banned 1:10:21.280 --> 1:10:23.120 a lot of the things. He's worried about peace in 1:10:23.160 --> 1:10:25.360 the Middle East and all this. But to me that 1:10:25.439 --> 1:10:28.320 you know, watching the news, and that was when you 1:10:28.360 --> 1:10:31.160 had three channels. Maybe you watch the news and it 1:10:31.200 --> 1:10:33.160 would be a steady drumbeat in the account of Okay, 1:10:33.200 --> 1:10:35.360 it's one hundred days, it's two hundred days, and it 1:10:35.400 --> 1:10:37.599 kept going on and on and on that were really 1:10:37.640 --> 1:10:39.400 in the eyes of America, made him look even weaker 1:10:39.479 --> 1:10:42.240 than he already was and ultimately ushered in Ronald Reagan, 1:10:43.080 --> 1:10:43.720 that is right. 1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:50.040 And simultaneously, six days after the failed attempt to rescue 1:10:50.080 --> 1:10:54.599 the American hostages in Tehran, Operation Eagle Claw, which ended, 1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:57.960 as you say, in disaster, it was a calamity. Six 1:10:58.080 --> 1:11:04.799 days later, six Iranian Arabs attacked the Iranian embassy in London. 1:11:05.240 --> 1:11:07.760 There's an almost direct parallel going on here. One of 1:11:07.840 --> 1:11:11.479 the reasons why they decided to attack the Iranian embassy 1:11:11.520 --> 1:11:14.240 was because it was representative of the Iranian regime. These 1:11:14.240 --> 1:11:18.040 were militant Arabs who were opposed to the Ayatoller and 1:11:18.040 --> 1:11:22.360 the new fundamentalists in Tehran, and they selected the Iranian 1:11:22.360 --> 1:11:25.479 embassy in London as the best thing to attack, and 1:11:25.520 --> 1:11:29.879 it set off an astonishing kind of parallel hostage situation 1:11:30.000 --> 1:11:32.800 here because inside that building. 1:11:32.800 --> 1:11:34.800 Were twenty six people, some of them. 1:11:34.680 --> 1:11:37.920 British citizens in fact, which the gunmen were not expecting. 1:11:38.240 --> 1:11:41.479 Most of them were employees of the Iranian embassy and 1:11:41.600 --> 1:11:47.040 representatives of the Eyeoler's regime, and it became a huge parallel. 1:11:46.560 --> 1:11:48.520 Problem for the international community. 1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:50.760 The American side of this thing is I think we 1:11:50.800 --> 1:11:52.760 didn't pay as much attention to that as we did 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:54.920 the Operation Eagle Claw. I think, as what was called 1:11:54.920 --> 1:11:57.280 when the helicopter crash killed the eight servicemen in an 1:11:57.320 --> 1:12:00.080 attempt to rescue the hostages. At least a few of 1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:03.560 the hostages from from Tehran. And it's not because of 1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:05.559 the Shah of Iran. So the Shah was basically our 1:12:05.680 --> 1:12:08.640 guy in Tehran. We can know he certainly had a 1:12:08.680 --> 1:12:10.599 lot of influence in the way we backed his regime, 1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:13.599 and all of a sudden he had to escape came 1:12:13.640 --> 1:12:15.559 to the United States. I think subsequently that of cancer, 1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:18.240 if I'm not mistaken. But the end result, there is 1:12:18.240 --> 1:12:20.400 a lot of this wake in this this power vacuum 1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:23.040 in Iran and Tehran that led to the hostage has 1:12:23.080 --> 1:12:23.559 been taken. 1:12:23.680 --> 1:12:25.720 That that is, that is correct, and of course in 1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:27.800 nineteen eighty it was still incredibly. 1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:29.000 Unstable in Iran. 1:12:29.520 --> 1:12:32.960 You know, the regime had not fully established itself. 1:12:32.880 --> 1:12:36.360 And it had also awoken lots of expectations among people 1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:40.519 who had supported the revolution, including the Arab minority in 1:12:40.560 --> 1:12:41.960 the southwest. 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:44.240 Who were keen for more. 1:12:44.040 --> 1:12:47.679 Political rights, who wanted political representation, that is the oil 1:12:47.800 --> 1:12:50.840 rich part of Iran, that's the southwest and Kusev done. 1:12:51.560 --> 1:12:54.320 And what happened was exactly the reverse that instead of 1:12:54.439 --> 1:13:00.000 providing the Arabs with more rights and more more morey 1:13:00.439 --> 1:13:03.080 in the wake of the Fulham, the Shah, actually the 1:13:03.120 --> 1:13:08.080 Iataola clamped down brutally on those Arabs, creating a major 1:13:08.120 --> 1:13:11.400 problem because what that resulted in was a very militant 1:13:11.400 --> 1:13:14.240 guerrilla movement on the part of the Arabs in Iran, 1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:18.439 backed by Saddam Hussein. That is the point of this 1:13:18.520 --> 1:13:19.720 element of the story. 1:13:19.479 --> 1:13:21.599 Is that Saddam Hussein and his. 1:13:21.680 --> 1:13:26.000 Then terrorist advisor A mangled Abu ni Dahal were training 1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:30.400 Arabs in and around Baghdad to attack Iran, to attack 1:13:30.439 --> 1:13:35.000 different Iranian targets, oil fields, police stations, and in this case, 1:13:35.040 --> 1:13:36.559 the Iranian embassy in London. 1:13:36.880 --> 1:13:39.080 So what you have taking place in London at the 1:13:39.080 --> 1:13:39.719 same time. 1:13:39.560 --> 1:13:42.400 As the hostage crisis is taking place in Tehran, is 1:13:42.479 --> 1:13:47.240 really the first battle of the looming Iran Iraq War, 1:13:47.400 --> 1:13:49.880 because that is coming in a few months. 1:13:49.479 --> 1:13:51.639 After this, Iran and Iraq go to war. 1:13:51.680 --> 1:13:54.720 More than a million people die in that appalling eight 1:13:54.800 --> 1:13:55.640 year conflict. 1:13:56.160 --> 1:13:58.600 But the first element of that and that conflict. 1:13:58.200 --> 1:14:01.599 Of course would have huge effects u urramifications going down 1:14:01.800 --> 1:14:04.240 to going down the years, but that all started, that 1:14:04.880 --> 1:14:08.320 moment begins in this conflict in London. So the Sixth 1:14:08.400 --> 1:14:12.719 Day Siege, this extraordinary sort of standoff that takes place 1:14:12.760 --> 1:14:16.160 in London, is really a battle of sort of proxy. 1:14:15.800 --> 1:14:19.559 Battle between the Iran and Iraq. The Iran Iraq war. 1:14:19.439 --> 1:14:22.920 Of course, destabilizes the whole of the Middle East, and 1:14:22.960 --> 1:14:26.599 from there you get to the Gulf Wars, you get 1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:30.080 to the Afghan situation, the invasion of Afghanistan, and eventually 1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:30.879 you get. 1:14:30.680 --> 1:14:31.519 To nine to eleven. 1:14:31.680 --> 1:14:34.320 So this in a way is one of the founding moments, 1:14:34.320 --> 1:14:38.320 along with the hostage crisis in Tehran for America. This 1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:41.320 is a key moment. The other thing to know about 1:14:41.360 --> 1:14:45.720 the Iranian embassy crisis here in London was that It 1:14:45.800 --> 1:14:48.600 was being closely watched by America because. 1:14:48.360 --> 1:14:50.799 There was a hope at the time that if. 1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:55.160 It could be resolved peacefully, if somehow the Iranians inside 1:14:55.200 --> 1:14:58.280 could be released, it would please Tehran and that could 1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:02.360 then be used as a lever to try to persuade. 1:15:01.920 --> 1:15:04.080 Iran to release the American hostages. 1:15:04.200 --> 1:15:08.200 So throughout this six day siege, Washington was on the 1:15:08.240 --> 1:15:12.320 line to Margaret Thatcher saying, you know, get this sorted out, 1:15:12.360 --> 1:15:14.160 Please get this done bloodlessly. 1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:16.880 Do it in a way that will, you know, curry 1:15:16.960 --> 1:15:17.680 favor with the. 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:20.200 Iranian regime, and then we may be able to use 1:15:20.240 --> 1:15:22.759 it as a way to get our people out. Needless 1:15:22.760 --> 1:15:27.000 to say, that didn't work. The teage ended with an 1:15:27.040 --> 1:15:32.439 extraordinary assault by the sas by British special forces. It 1:15:32.520 --> 1:15:36.200 was highly successful. In contrast to it Operation Eagle Claw, 1:15:36.479 --> 1:15:40.360 which you've just mentioned, this was an astonishing success. They 1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:43.640 managed to save all but two of the hostages and 1:15:43.760 --> 1:15:45.799 indeed killed all but one of the gunment. 1:15:45.840 --> 1:15:47.440 It was an amazing achievement. 1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:51.559 The hope that this would somehow bring Tehran into a 1:15:51.600 --> 1:15:55.600 better relationship with both Britain and America was not to be. 1:15:56.080 --> 1:15:59.519 That hardline regime remained just as hardline as it. 1:15:59.479 --> 1:16:00.639 Was before, not harder. 1:16:01.560 --> 1:16:03.840 Connect the dots and Ben McIntyre and the sea. How 1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:07.599 did we get to today where you have another humanitarian crisis, 1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:11.200 You have more hostages, this time those people from Gaza 1:16:11.200 --> 1:16:13.400 in the Middle East, and we have Palestinians and Israel. 1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:15.919 Nothing new there are. How close are those two related? 1:16:16.280 --> 1:16:18.599 And it seems like, I think for the casual observers, 1:16:18.640 --> 1:16:23.000 certainly the battle between Jews in Arabs and Palestinians in 1:16:23.040 --> 1:16:25.240 this case has been gone on much much longer than 1:16:25.280 --> 1:16:27.519 what we're talking about here with the anniversary of the 1:16:27.560 --> 1:16:28.719 Iranian hostage crisis. 1:16:28.840 --> 1:16:29.799 How do these all connect? 1:16:31.000 --> 1:16:32.400 Yes, well, they do connect. 1:16:32.479 --> 1:16:35.040 I mean, you know, the battle inside the Iranian embassy 1:16:35.080 --> 1:16:38.840 in London during the siege was really between rival ideologies, 1:16:38.920 --> 1:16:40.840 people who believed they had right on. 1:16:40.840 --> 1:16:43.840 Their side and were prepared to do. 1:16:43.720 --> 1:16:47.679 Anything that they had to do, including killing, including mass killing, 1:16:47.920 --> 1:16:51.160 in order to achieve their political aims. It was not 1:16:51.240 --> 1:16:54.280 a religious conflict, the one in London. It was much 1:16:54.320 --> 1:16:56.160 more to do with rights and. 1:16:56.160 --> 1:16:59.880 Territory and representation, as you can argue. 1:16:59.680 --> 1:17:04.200 Is the in Gaza. What it seems to me this 1:17:04.320 --> 1:17:08.080 story is about really is about radicalization. The sixth gunmen 1:17:08.120 --> 1:17:11.680 who went into attack the embassy here had all suffered 1:17:11.800 --> 1:17:14.639 at the hands of Iran's security service. 1:17:14.680 --> 1:17:15.160 They had had. 1:17:15.160 --> 1:17:19.439 Family members killed, tortured, executed. Now that doesn't justify what 1:17:19.560 --> 1:17:22.240 they what they did is still these were men of 1:17:22.360 --> 1:17:25.439 violence who were prepared to kill and be killed in 1:17:25.520 --> 1:17:28.519 what they were doing. But they had been brutalized by 1:17:28.720 --> 1:17:31.280 a kind of tit for tack violence, which is what 1:17:31.320 --> 1:17:34.920 we're seeing today in a way in Gaza, the quickest 1:17:34.960 --> 1:17:37.840 way to make a man into a killer is to 1:17:37.920 --> 1:17:42.200 kill the thing that he loves. And you know, indiscriminate bombing, 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:46.040 you know, attacking kibbutzis. These are acts of sort of 1:17:46.080 --> 1:17:49.960 indiscriminate violence that create They don't create. 1:17:50.000 --> 1:17:51.880 The effect that they that they are intended to create. 1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:55.640 They simply create more violence. So although this story of 1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:59.320 the Iranian embassy siege in London that the sas hostage drama, 1:17:59.600 --> 1:18:02.280 it is still a story of our times. We still 1:18:02.280 --> 1:18:07.120 have hostages being taken in the name of politics, in 1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:10.400 the name of sort of sexittarian views, which is exactly 1:18:10.680 --> 1:18:11.799 what was happening in London. 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:15.400 And sadly, then if you look prior to nineteen eighty 1:18:16.240 --> 1:18:19.000 and you'll see photographs of people in Tehran in the 1:18:19.080 --> 1:18:22.360 nineteen seventies and sixties and looks very western. The women 1:18:22.360 --> 1:18:25.080 are addressed in Western clothes. They're in Burker's list of 1:18:25.080 --> 1:18:27.439 the music go on a Western university. Will we ever 1:18:27.479 --> 1:18:29.479 see in our lifetime the pendulum swing back that way? 1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:30.480 Hopefully? 1:18:30.800 --> 1:18:32.000 Probably? Who knows? 1:18:32.080 --> 1:18:33.920 I mean in order, But you're actually right, of. 1:18:33.840 --> 1:18:34.320 Course, Scott. 1:18:34.320 --> 1:18:37.160 You know that it was a very westernized regime in 1:18:37.200 --> 1:18:40.320 Iran under the Shah, But of course that had happened 1:18:40.439 --> 1:18:43.280 very quickly too. It had gone from being a much 1:18:43.320 --> 1:18:47.240 more traditional, much more religious state. He had sort of 1:18:47.320 --> 1:18:50.760 force marched it with Western help, into the Western world. 1:18:51.479 --> 1:18:54.160 The non wearing of hit jabs and so on in 1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:57.679 Iran was all comparatively news. So these are very sudden changes. 1:18:57.880 --> 1:19:01.440 One shouldn't imagine that Iran had had a slow evolution 1:19:01.640 --> 1:19:04.800 into a westernized Middle Eastern country. It hadn't. It had 1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:08.240 been frog marched into that by the shar who was 1:19:08.320 --> 1:19:13.280 determined to create that high speed a modern nation, and 1:19:13.360 --> 1:19:16.479 he did so with extreme brutality. I mean, we now 1:19:16.600 --> 1:19:20.440 know of some of the horrors perpetrated by his security 1:19:20.520 --> 1:19:24.000 service during the shas regime. So again you have that 1:19:24.120 --> 1:19:27.720 story of sudden change coupled with an absolute sort of 1:19:27.800 --> 1:19:31.120 determination to impose your views. 1:19:30.920 --> 1:19:31.639 On other people. 1:19:31.720 --> 1:19:35.439 That is an old, old story and alas it's been 1:19:35.520 --> 1:19:41.120 the story in Iran for centuries. I mean, Western involvement 1:19:41.200 --> 1:19:44.520 in Iran is not a happy story. The Anglo American 1:19:44.920 --> 1:19:49.080 oil companies who manipulated Iran and tried to make. 1:19:49.000 --> 1:19:51.280 Huge amounts of profits out of there, that is also 1:19:51.360 --> 1:19:52.200 part of this story. 1:19:52.240 --> 1:19:54.439 The West is not blameless in this story. 1:19:54.880 --> 1:19:58.280 It's not as if the Shah was some charming, polite 1:19:59.479 --> 1:20:01.439 democrat elected figure. 1:20:01.479 --> 1:20:01.960 He was not. 1:20:02.120 --> 1:20:05.120 He was a ruthless autocrat and he was backed by 1:20:05.160 --> 1:20:09.720 Britain and America. And part of that autocracy is what 1:20:09.920 --> 1:20:12.280 sparked the revolution. It didn't come from nowhere. 1:20:12.560 --> 1:20:15.519 Yeah, British petroleum comes to man, right BP, which we 1:20:15.600 --> 1:20:18.759 have here obviously British year where you are in trying 1:20:18.800 --> 1:20:21.200 to keep oil as low as we'll go and essentially 1:20:21.240 --> 1:20:23.360 milking that out and people realized, hey, wait a minute, 1:20:23.400 --> 1:20:26.320 we in. It led to the oil crisis, the oil embargo, 1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:28.720 and it doesn't sound like much has change. We're still 1:20:28.760 --> 1:20:30.840 fighting this battle. 1:20:32.040 --> 1:20:33.360 I think that's exactly right. 1:20:33.439 --> 1:20:37.599 And you know, in nineteen fifty three, the democratically elected 1:20:37.640 --> 1:20:41.320 government of Iran was toppled in a coup because they 1:20:41.439 --> 1:20:44.240 appeared to be about to nationalize the oil industry. 1:20:44.680 --> 1:20:46.160 Well, who was behind that coup? 1:20:46.720 --> 1:20:49.360 It was the CIA and MI six it was it 1:20:49.400 --> 1:20:53.800 was British and American intelligence created a coup against the 1:20:53.800 --> 1:20:58.920 democratically elected government. That shows you just how volatile and 1:20:58.960 --> 1:21:03.240 how much X area sort of influence has has had 1:21:03.240 --> 1:21:03.920 to play. 1:21:03.680 --> 1:21:04.799 In the Iranian story. 1:21:04.840 --> 1:21:07.240 And it goes back, it goes and memories in Iran 1:21:07.280 --> 1:21:09.880 are very very long. I mean again, in no way 1:21:09.920 --> 1:21:14.360 am I defending the appalling theocratic regime in Tehran today, 1:21:14.400 --> 1:21:16.920 which has become more and more oppressive as time has 1:21:16.960 --> 1:21:17.400 gone on. 1:21:17.840 --> 1:21:20.080 But one has to see that as you have to see. 1:21:19.960 --> 1:21:23.559 All these stories in historical context. These things don't happen 1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:24.280 out of nowhere. 1:21:25.000 --> 1:21:29.200 Well you kind of said it yourself. Oppression leads to revolution. 1:21:29.960 --> 1:21:32.679 And as oppressed as people are there, do we see 1:21:32.720 --> 1:21:34.720 a revolution brewing where people are going to want to 1:21:34.720 --> 1:21:37.519 take back their country or at least their autocracy. It's 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:39.400 been going on for almost fifty years, I think that 1:21:39.520 --> 1:21:41.320 is right. Do we see an end inside? Because it's 1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:43.280 all cyclical. It all comes back. 1:21:45.240 --> 1:21:45.559 It does. 1:21:45.600 --> 1:21:49.479 An oppression is to revolution, and revolution almost inevitably leads 1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:52.280 to greater repression, so you have a kind of vicious 1:21:52.280 --> 1:21:55.880 cycle that eventually explodes out of the country. 1:21:55.920 --> 1:21:56.200 That is. 1:21:56.360 --> 1:21:59.680 You know, the American hostage crisis was very different in 1:21:59.720 --> 1:22:02.559 lots of ways from the British embassy crisis, because, of course, 1:22:02.560 --> 1:22:05.960 that was those were captives inside an entire country. 1:22:05.960 --> 1:22:08.400 They were really being held hostage by the Iranian state. 1:22:09.200 --> 1:22:12.120 This was both similar but at the same time different 1:22:12.200 --> 1:22:16.080 because these were terrorists, gunmen who had come to this 1:22:16.160 --> 1:22:20.560 country with the avowed intention of staging sort of terrorists 1:22:20.600 --> 1:22:24.719 spectacular with Iraqi backing. But within days of it happening, 1:22:25.040 --> 1:22:27.200 groups of demonstrators were gathering on. 1:22:27.160 --> 1:22:29.760 The streets of London. You had the Iranian. 1:22:29.320 --> 1:22:33.880 Demonstrators who were backing the Ayatollah who believed that. 1:22:33.840 --> 1:22:36.439 This must be a CIA backed assault on. 1:22:36.360 --> 1:22:38.160 The Iranian embassy. The CIA was. 1:22:38.160 --> 1:22:41.040 Immediately blamed by the Iranian government for causing it. Of 1:22:41.040 --> 1:22:42.720 course they had actually nothing to do with it. It 1:22:42.760 --> 1:22:45.240 was all being done by Saddam Hustine. Then you had 1:22:45.280 --> 1:22:49.400 Americans in London demonstrating because they believed that somehow this 1:22:49.560 --> 1:22:52.640 was linked that the maybe Americans inside that embassy were 1:22:52.640 --> 1:22:55.000 being held hostage. Again, there were other people who believed 1:22:55.000 --> 1:22:58.960 that actually this must be the Iranians themselves launching an 1:22:59.000 --> 1:23:01.000 attack against their own embassy. 1:23:01.040 --> 1:23:04.200 And finally you have the traditional British football litigants. 1:23:04.240 --> 1:23:07.040 He turned up to toward the others and ended up 1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:08.920 in a sort of punch up with everybody else. 1:23:08.960 --> 1:23:11.440 So you've got a very complicated situation. 1:23:11.040 --> 1:23:14.759 That is is kind of spooning out from a central conflict. 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:17.960 All right, more on this, Ben McIntyre. The siege and 1:23:18.600 --> 1:23:21.000 the anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis is here. 1:23:21.040 --> 1:23:21.559 Thanks for the. 1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:24.000 Time, Great Leagus Scott, thanks for having me on. 1:23:24.560 --> 1:23:27.679 Thanks again today not only election day, but also the 1:23:28.040 --> 1:23:31.479 anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis in nineteen seventy nine, 1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:35.040 and also the passing of Vice President Dick Cheney, who 1:23:35.080 --> 1:23:38.840 in nineteen seventy nine was the freshman representative from the 1:23:38.840 --> 1:23:41.160 Great State of Wyoming. He had worked in the Ford 1:23:41.200 --> 1:23:45.280 White House, but later under Ronald Reagan. With Iran contra 1:23:45.360 --> 1:23:47.960 brewing in the mid nineteen eighties, a different Iran related 1:23:48.000 --> 1:23:49.720 scandal than we're talking about here, A problem I guess 1:23:49.720 --> 1:23:51.480 I should say, he was in the House Select Committee 1:23:51.600 --> 1:23:55.559 that investigated that and defended the Reagan administration and then 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:58.599 of course years later becoming Vice President United States. Dick 1:23:58.680 --> 1:24:02.320 Cheney passing away overnight. It's a Scott Sloan show. This 1:24:02.360 --> 1:24:04.120 is a home of the best Bengals covered seven hundred 1:24:04.240 --> 1:24:05.280 WW Cincinnati. 1:24:06.040 --> 1:24:09.160 Time to talk about money, how to make it, how 1:24:09.200 --> 1:24:12.679 to keep it, and how to keep others off your stack. 1:24:16.520 --> 1:24:19.799 This is all Worth Advice with Andy Schaeffer Andrew. 1:24:19.800 --> 1:24:20.919 Good morning, you have life. 1:24:21.240 --> 1:24:22.759 Everything's good, Scott, how are you today? 1:24:22.760 --> 1:24:24.880 Everything is fine, Everything is fine. 1:24:24.880 --> 1:24:27.160 But you're gonna tell me today with the markets and 1:24:27.200 --> 1:24:30.200 such which going on here on this election day, let's 1:24:30.240 --> 1:24:33.040 jump right in at the top interest rates cut by 1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:35.759 the Fed. That's was predicted by you. No big surprise 1:24:35.920 --> 1:24:38.559 right there, and that is the good news. 1:24:38.600 --> 1:24:38.800 Now. 1:24:39.720 --> 1:24:41.280 I guess though that you could look at this and 1:24:41.280 --> 1:24:44.640 say that the chair Jerom Powell, the Fed really did 1:24:44.640 --> 1:24:47.560 a little unexpected thing here. What wasn't expected? How aggressive 1:24:47.560 --> 1:24:49.400 it was? Maybe another cut's coming up? Can you lay 1:24:49.400 --> 1:24:49.960 it out for us? 1:24:50.240 --> 1:24:50.679 Yeah? 1:24:50.680 --> 1:24:53.160 So I think you need to remember that markets are 1:24:53.200 --> 1:24:57.200 predictive indicators of how investors feel about the economy. Looking out, 1:24:57.240 --> 1:24:59.800 let's say six months to a year. So we all 1:24:59.880 --> 1:25:02.719 know or thought we knew that there would be a cut, 1:25:02.920 --> 1:25:05.439 you know, this past week, and that's exactly what happened. 1:25:05.560 --> 1:25:08.920 And so the markets really haven't responded favorably one way 1:25:09.000 --> 1:25:11.599 or the other. And I think that, you know, what 1:25:11.680 --> 1:25:14.120 investors are really looking for is what we call guidance, 1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:18.040 and guidance is what the FED chair will say in 1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:21.320 the press conference after the decision is made. And he 1:25:21.439 --> 1:25:23.120 kind of threw a little bit of water on our 1:25:23.160 --> 1:25:26.040 optimism a little bit. And really what he said was 1:25:26.080 --> 1:25:28.439 is said, Okay, you know, I know that you're all 1:25:28.439 --> 1:25:31.400 thinking that there's going to be another cut December. He said, basically, 1:25:31.400 --> 1:25:34.240 hold your horses. We're not there yet. There has been 1:25:34.240 --> 1:25:38.719 some descent within the FED committee members about what direction 1:25:38.800 --> 1:25:41.840 we should go moving forward. He said, essentially, it's not 1:25:41.880 --> 1:25:44.839 a foregone conclusion. He said, we're far from that decision, 1:25:45.439 --> 1:25:47.760 even though that we believe that it's probably still going 1:25:47.840 --> 1:25:49.880 to happen in December. That really kind of put a 1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:52.360 damper on the optimism of investors in general. 1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.439 Okay, and then just laying this out there too, is 1:25:56.479 --> 1:25:59.000 that we're just going to keep going till we get 1:25:59.200 --> 1:26:01.160 a what point because you know, I'm talking to my 1:26:01.160 --> 1:26:03.599 wife about this. In the real estate markets, Uh, people 1:26:03.640 --> 1:26:04.960 are like, well, I'm just gonna wait till it goes 1:26:04.960 --> 1:26:05.799 back down the three percent. 1:26:06.040 --> 1:26:08.760 We're not gonna see those rates again. Uh, probably not. 1:26:09.240 --> 1:26:12.000 But he also said further that you know, if we 1:26:12.040 --> 1:26:14.880 don't cut in December, we're still probably gonna see cuts 1:26:15.360 --> 1:26:19.519 next year. That can amount to maybe one quarter percent cut, 1:26:19.600 --> 1:26:21.000 maybe three quarter percent cuts. 1:26:21.000 --> 1:26:21.800 We just don't know. 1:26:21.920 --> 1:26:24.200 And you know what the Fed is balancing right now 1:26:24.320 --> 1:26:26.839 is you know, what is inflation gonna do. If inflation 1:26:26.960 --> 1:26:29.400 remains pretty sticky, they're gonna hold off. They're gonna wait 1:26:29.400 --> 1:26:31.840 to see what happens. If the labor market starts to 1:26:31.880 --> 1:26:33.840 waiver a little bit more and we see more cracks 1:26:33.880 --> 1:26:37.160 in the labor market, maybe they become more aggressive. But 1:26:37.200 --> 1:26:40.160 what he basically, you know, his message was basically, we 1:26:40.320 --> 1:26:41.280 need to wait and see. 1:26:42.000 --> 1:26:43.599 You know, don't get your hopes up too quickly. 1:26:44.439 --> 1:26:45.840 All right, wait and see pump there. 1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:48.160 Well we'll see what December bus right, it's gonna be 1:26:48.200 --> 1:26:49.760 hear in a few short weeks anyway, so we're going 1:26:49.800 --> 1:26:50.960 to know sooner rather than later. 1:26:51.000 --> 1:26:52.360 So would you say like fifty to fifty. 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:53.799 Yeah, No, I think. 1:26:53.680 --> 1:26:56.280 It's probably more two thirds likely that we do see 1:26:56.280 --> 1:26:58.360 it cut in December. Now, the Fed doesn't want to, 1:26:58.800 --> 1:27:00.840 you know, really reveal their hand, but I think it's 1:27:00.880 --> 1:27:01.680 more likely than not. 1:27:02.080 --> 1:27:03.920 All Right, I saw the markets jump over the last 1:27:03.960 --> 1:27:07.759 few days. For sure, Today can outlier, but it's because 1:27:07.760 --> 1:27:10.120 Trump and g met in South Korea and agreed on 1:27:10.600 --> 1:27:11.679 I guess tariff terms. 1:27:11.680 --> 1:27:13.640 But how did the markets react to that? 1:27:13.640 --> 1:27:16.040 Because we've heard that before, only to hear while more 1:27:16.080 --> 1:27:21.439 tariffs being threatened, and we've ignored the the negatives where 1:27:21.439 --> 1:27:23.200 the threat is going to be more tariffs. Do we 1:27:23.520 --> 1:27:26.320 also ignore the fact that China and the United States 1:27:26.400 --> 1:27:27.120 might have a deal here. 1:27:28.439 --> 1:27:30.080 I think there's two components to it. 1:27:30.160 --> 1:27:33.000 I think that investors like the fact that there's open 1:27:33.040 --> 1:27:36.439 dialogue between President Trump and President g They met in 1:27:36.560 --> 1:27:40.280 South Korea and agreed on several terms. Basically, they're hoping 1:27:40.320 --> 1:27:45.519 to de escalate the tension between you know, two economic superpowers. However, 1:27:45.760 --> 1:27:48.240 it's still more of kicking the can down the road, 1:27:48.520 --> 1:27:50.800 you know. It's it's one of those, you know, one 1:27:50.800 --> 1:27:53.919 of those deals, like Ronald Reagan said, you know, verify, 1:27:54.120 --> 1:27:57.080 you know, trust, but verify. China is going to purchase 1:27:57.160 --> 1:28:00.479 large amounts of US soybeans in the next three years. 1:28:01.080 --> 1:28:02.439 Yeah, that's gonna be good for farmers. 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:04.639 But here, here's the deal about China, Scott, is that 1:28:05.200 --> 1:28:08.719 we've made deals with them before, but they haven't always 1:28:08.800 --> 1:28:10.479 followed through on those deals. 1:28:10.560 --> 1:28:14.000 And so we basically have said we're gonna we're gonna 1:28:14.000 --> 1:28:14.639 make these deals. 1:28:14.640 --> 1:28:16.920 We're gonna give it a year and see and make 1:28:16.960 --> 1:28:20.320 sure that we have plans in place to verify these 1:28:20.360 --> 1:28:23.560 types of things, you know. And we're also gonna pause restrictions. 1:28:23.840 --> 1:28:27.000 I'm sorry, China's gonna pause restrictions on rare earth exports 1:28:27.360 --> 1:28:30.360 over the next year. And that's important because those rare 1:28:30.360 --> 1:28:34.519 earth minerals are critical for not only components that we 1:28:34.640 --> 1:28:38.160 use with electronics and it, but also for our military. 1:28:38.680 --> 1:28:41.360 Trump agreed to scale back the fentanyl related terrorists from 1:28:41.360 --> 1:28:44.800 twenty percent to ten percent, and that basically results in 1:28:44.840 --> 1:28:48.160 an average of forty seven percent tariff on Chinese goods. 1:28:48.200 --> 1:28:51.719 So, you know, all of these things on paper sound good. 1:28:52.520 --> 1:28:55.080 Investors like the fact that, hey, we're coming to the 1:28:55.120 --> 1:28:57.640 table with China, but it still really remains to be 1:28:57.720 --> 1:29:03.040 seen whether these terras remain in place, whether China is 1:29:03.200 --> 1:29:06.920 acting in good faith with these UH lifted restrictions and 1:29:07.000 --> 1:29:12.439 continue to progress on deals between the world's biggest superpowers. 1:29:12.640 --> 1:29:17.479 Andy Schaeffer, we're also battling Venezuela over allegedly allegedly it 1:29:17.560 --> 1:29:19.920 is fentanyl coming across the Bard, and all the drug 1:29:20.000 --> 1:29:23.000 surveys and reports and everything say that is simply not 1:29:23.000 --> 1:29:27.240 not at all true. You mentioned rare with minerals, and 1:29:27.280 --> 1:29:30.960 I know that Venezuela has a significant deposit of those. 1:29:31.000 --> 1:29:32.280 Could that be what's going on here? 1:29:32.840 --> 1:29:36.919 Well, there's there's a couple of things with Venezuela, UH Venezuela. Essentially, 1:29:36.960 --> 1:29:40.600 we don't have a large trading relationship with Venezuela. So 1:29:41.080 --> 1:29:43.880 when you look at tariff conversations, in tariff talks, you know, 1:29:43.960 --> 1:29:46.920 going back to you know, the American Revolution, there were 1:29:46.960 --> 1:29:51.400 basically two reasons that we implemented terraffs. Alexander Hamilton wanted 1:29:51.439 --> 1:29:54.280 to get you know, a significant amount more revenue, you know, 1:29:54.320 --> 1:29:57.080 that's one of the benefits of terras. The other reason 1:29:57.520 --> 1:29:59.559 is that you want to bring more control back to 1:29:59.600 --> 1:30:02.880 your own industry and control you know. 1:30:02.920 --> 1:30:04.400 The production of goods. 1:30:04.520 --> 1:30:06.840 Well, Donald Trump is using it in another way, and 1:30:06.880 --> 1:30:08.519 one of the ways that he's using it is from 1:30:08.560 --> 1:30:10.960 a political sense, even though that we don't have a 1:30:11.000 --> 1:30:16.080 big trading relationship with Venezuela. Venezuela is supplying oil, rare 1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:18.720 earth minerals to a lot of you know, what we 1:30:19.240 --> 1:30:24.840 perceive as adversaries of the United States, And so what 1:30:24.920 --> 1:30:27.560 you can do with with Venezuela then is put a 1:30:27.600 --> 1:30:30.599 lot of restrictions on them to say, hey, don't start 1:30:31.000 --> 1:30:33.759 mining your rare minerals and sending them to a lot 1:30:33.800 --> 1:30:37.360 of our adversaries, you know, because we will be able 1:30:37.400 --> 1:30:40.920 to put restrictions and punish you significantly with a lot 1:30:40.920 --> 1:30:43.679 of our economic tools that we have in our pocket. 1:30:43.800 --> 1:30:46.040 And so I think it's more of a political play 1:30:46.120 --> 1:30:49.400 where we're trying to squeeze China, Russia and those types 1:30:49.439 --> 1:30:53.160 of countries and hurt Venezuela in the process because they 1:30:53.160 --> 1:30:55.160 are helping out a lot of our rivals. 1:30:55.320 --> 1:30:57.120 Obvious, the oil is a big one, they're the largest 1:30:57.200 --> 1:31:00.160 reserves in the world in Venezuela. Gold is another one 1:31:00.200 --> 1:31:02.080 as well. But the problem is it's such a battered 1:31:02.080 --> 1:31:04.599 and belaeguered country that we don't know we just assume 1:31:04.640 --> 1:31:07.000 they've got a lot of rare earth minerals because China's 1:31:07.000 --> 1:31:08.680 in there and they put tons of money into the 1:31:08.720 --> 1:31:11.080 mines in Venezuela. And I think maybe you know, he 1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:14.439 Ventanyl plays really well too. I think Trump's base for sure. 1:31:14.840 --> 1:31:17.719 But the reality is is little or no fentanyl. It's 1:31:17.720 --> 1:31:19.880 mainly you know, coming from Mexico and other countries have 1:31:20.040 --> 1:31:23.120 other South American countries, not Venezuela. There's a whole different 1:31:23.160 --> 1:31:25.720 dynamic there. But the pretext is, hey, you know what 1:31:25.760 --> 1:31:27.840 they're they're traveler blowing the boats up. Maybe we start 1:31:27.880 --> 1:31:31.280 launches inside of Venezuela. We want to change the regime there. 1:31:31.320 --> 1:31:34.160 It's more favorable for the United States, and now maybe 1:31:34.200 --> 1:31:36.880 we can overthrow things and turn the tide in our favor. 1:31:37.320 --> 1:31:39.599 That's I think the I think that's the real story 1:31:39.600 --> 1:31:40.960 that what's going on in Venezuela. 1:31:41.040 --> 1:31:43.760 Yeah, and I think there's you know, to a large degree, 1:31:43.760 --> 1:31:44.479 you're right there. 1:31:45.000 --> 1:31:47.560 You know the other thing about rare earth minerals, petroleum, 1:31:47.760 --> 1:31:49.800 oil and you know, energy. 1:31:49.520 --> 1:31:50.280 And things like that. 1:31:50.800 --> 1:31:55.080 The United States has a large reserves. The problem is 1:31:55.080 --> 1:31:58.519 is not having the access to those types of minerals 1:31:58.560 --> 1:32:00.720 and oil and things like that. The problem is is 1:32:00.720 --> 1:32:03.960 that we don't have the capability of the refinement that 1:32:04.439 --> 1:32:08.120 countries like China has, and so China is looking at, hey, 1:32:08.280 --> 1:32:11.160 what does our nation look like twenty five fifty years 1:32:11.200 --> 1:32:13.759 down the road. And so everybody right now is jocking 1:32:14.000 --> 1:32:16.719 for position to be able to have leverage not only 1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:19.479 just today and weeks ahead and over the next couple 1:32:19.479 --> 1:32:22.479 of years, but really looking out into the future for 1:32:22.560 --> 1:32:25.760 our next generations. And that's where we're really starting to 1:32:25.800 --> 1:32:29.000 try to position ourselves, not today, not tomorrow, but looking 1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:29.960 into the future. 1:32:29.680 --> 1:32:32.840 Now right it's the Geopolitical Roundtable. Andy Schaeffer from all 1:32:32.840 --> 1:32:35.280 Worth Financial here on seven hundred. Wow, this is some 1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:37.160 deep dive kind of stuff. This is like you know, 1:32:37.360 --> 1:32:39.559 NPR kind of this is high level stuff. We got 1:32:39.600 --> 1:32:40.120 go out of our. 1:32:40.080 --> 1:32:43.040 Brother Well, I think, you know, you have to plan ahead, 1:32:43.240 --> 1:32:46.559 you have to understand and when you know, in my industry, 1:32:46.600 --> 1:32:49.600 when you're talking about investing, you have to understand what 1:32:49.800 --> 1:32:53.200 makes sense from making a smart investment and what does 1:32:53.200 --> 1:32:56.120 our country look like not only tomorrow, the next day 1:32:56.200 --> 1:32:58.360 or the day after that, but what makes sense moving 1:32:58.400 --> 1:33:02.400 forward and what direction is our errow moving? Not only 1:33:02.800 --> 1:33:05.519 you know you know, from a labor market standpoint, but 1:33:05.560 --> 1:33:08.880 also what sectors look more promising, and that's really important 1:33:09.080 --> 1:33:12.240 to make good decisions within my client's portfolio and for 1:33:12.280 --> 1:33:13.160 investors in general. 1:33:13.320 --> 1:33:15.880 All Right, the threat of AI is all looming. All 1:33:15.920 --> 1:33:17.479 the news this week is not all of it, but 1:33:17.840 --> 1:33:20.439 it feels like everything is filtered to the context of AI. 1:33:20.520 --> 1:33:23.840 This changing dynamic, you know, the it's the next industrial 1:33:23.880 --> 1:33:26.080 revolution that's going on right near and people are losing 1:33:26.080 --> 1:33:28.040 their jobs. And we said, we're seeing you know, entry 1:33:28.120 --> 1:33:30.519 level white collar jobs disappear as a result of this. 1:33:31.560 --> 1:33:33.400 And the idea that's going to take all jobs away, 1:33:33.439 --> 1:33:35.800 I think is kind of silly because if you go 1:33:35.920 --> 1:33:39.080 back to any technological revolution, it's always the threat of, 1:33:39.120 --> 1:33:41.040 oh my god, this is going to destroy all these jobs. 1:33:41.080 --> 1:33:42.720 You know, back in the day when you had typewriters 1:33:42.800 --> 1:33:45.559 or exactly type is now you know, we have AI, 1:33:45.720 --> 1:33:48.080 and type has took away all the people doing calligraphy 1:33:48.160 --> 1:33:51.160 and writing things by hand. So we just morph into 1:33:51.160 --> 1:33:52.120 different jobs. 1:33:51.880 --> 1:33:55.280 Right, Yeah, I remember typing papers and junior high on 1:33:55.320 --> 1:33:57.880 a typewriter, and you know, and and and that didn't 1:33:57.920 --> 1:33:59.920 eliminate a lot of jobs. When we moved into computer 1:34:00.160 --> 1:34:02.320 and it did. In the late nineties when we developed 1:34:02.520 --> 1:34:04.680 the Internet, there was a lot of fear there. And 1:34:04.960 --> 1:34:08.080 I think right now people just don't know really what 1:34:08.160 --> 1:34:10.800 to make of AI. And I think that AI is 1:34:10.880 --> 1:34:14.040 here to stay. It is a major revolution. If businesses 1:34:14.080 --> 1:34:18.160 are not looking into adding AI into to become a 1:34:18.200 --> 1:34:21.120 major component of their business, they will probably falter and 1:34:21.160 --> 1:34:25.280 maybe dissipate and an underperform. And I think that I 1:34:25.280 --> 1:34:28.320 think investors understand that that is the future. I use 1:34:28.360 --> 1:34:31.640 AI within my job. My wife the other night was 1:34:31.680 --> 1:34:34.000 looking to add a mantle over our fireplace. 1:34:34.080 --> 1:34:36.599 Well, she could type in something on AI and. 1:34:36.560 --> 1:34:39.799 It builds this big picture of all these different types 1:34:39.840 --> 1:34:44.320 of aesthetics to that picture and helps you shop for 1:34:44.360 --> 1:34:45.759 those types of proper. 1:34:46.000 --> 1:34:48.000 So AI is here to stay. Now. 1:34:48.040 --> 1:34:50.880 There is overvaluation there, and what I mean by that 1:34:51.080 --> 1:34:53.840 is the price for stocks that are invested in AI 1:34:54.400 --> 1:34:57.519 are elevated versus what their earnings are today. And the 1:34:57.560 --> 1:35:00.479 bed is is that these companies are going to continue 1:35:00.479 --> 1:35:03.519 to generate revenue trillions of dollars over the next five years. 1:35:03.520 --> 1:35:06.599 And so I'm willing to pay this elevated price today 1:35:06.680 --> 1:35:11.000 for the opportunity for the prospect that these companies will 1:35:11.000 --> 1:35:12.760 continue to perform in the future. 1:35:12.680 --> 1:35:14.040 And I think that's a good bet. 1:35:14.120 --> 1:35:17.599 Now, if you ever see any types of earnings reports 1:35:17.600 --> 1:35:19.960 that falter a little bit versus the estimates, you're going 1:35:20.040 --> 1:35:21.479 to see a little bit of a pullback. And that's 1:35:21.560 --> 1:35:24.080 kind of what we've seen over the last couple of days, 1:35:24.120 --> 1:35:26.519 is that people are getting a little bit tired of 1:35:26.560 --> 1:35:29.640 these elevated prices and are almost looking for a reason. 1:35:29.360 --> 1:35:32.120 To lock in those gains. But I do think you 1:35:32.160 --> 1:35:33.040 guys here to stay. 1:35:33.080 --> 1:35:35.360 I do still think it's a good investment, and I 1:35:35.360 --> 1:35:38.040 think that you need to have it as a piece. 1:35:37.800 --> 1:35:38.640 Of your portfolio. 1:35:39.720 --> 1:35:41.760 And certainly it's not going anywhere. It's here. 1:35:41.800 --> 1:35:44.000 But the idea that this is going to somehow destroy it. 1:35:44.000 --> 1:35:46.120 It's probably gonna take some jobs away, but they'll create 1:35:46.200 --> 1:35:47.800 jobs and other sectors, we don't know. That's the way 1:35:47.800 --> 1:35:50.000 it's always been. Any technology comes along, and the car 1:35:50.080 --> 1:35:51.960 comes along, Oh my god, the horse. What are we 1:35:51.960 --> 1:35:54.320 going to do with the horseshoeers and the guys who 1:35:54.520 --> 1:35:57.759 farm hay? And you know, again, everybody just finds new jobs. 1:35:57.760 --> 1:35:59.240 That's that's kind of the way it is. You do 1:35:59.360 --> 1:36:01.800 be wind to pivot do something else. Let's take a 1:36:01.800 --> 1:36:03.439 look at the week ahead. Here we are into the 1:36:03.479 --> 1:36:05.559 I don't know, the third year of the government shutdown. 1:36:05.560 --> 1:36:07.120 I've lost track of this whole thing. 1:36:07.680 --> 1:36:10.000 We're not getting any official economic data out as with 1:36:10.080 --> 1:36:12.200 all of that, but again, the markets will figure it out, 1:36:12.280 --> 1:36:14.760 so they're going to come up with some fougazy reports here, right. 1:36:15.479 --> 1:36:16.760 Yeah, I think I think so. 1:36:17.200 --> 1:36:19.640 And you know, it is a challenge to you know, 1:36:19.720 --> 1:36:22.040 to really get an understanding where we are from an 1:36:22.040 --> 1:36:23.639 economic point of view. 1:36:24.439 --> 1:36:25.479 You know, there's really a. 1:36:25.479 --> 1:36:28.680 Lack of economic releases due to the shutdown, but there 1:36:28.760 --> 1:36:31.400 are some there is some private data updates. We are 1:36:31.439 --> 1:36:35.800 going to get the ISM Manufacturing and Services Survey and 1:36:35.920 --> 1:36:39.200 the ice CM is basically the Institute for Supply Management 1:36:39.240 --> 1:36:42.960 and what they do is basically pull a lot of 1:36:43.479 --> 1:36:47.160 supply managers of different industries to find out whether they 1:36:47.160 --> 1:36:50.280 feel like you're going to increase your purchases of supply 1:36:50.400 --> 1:36:52.920 or you're going to reduce your your purchases of supply. 1:36:52.960 --> 1:36:55.400 And that gives us an idea of, you know, the 1:36:55.439 --> 1:36:59.519 optimism or lack thereof, of how these supply managers feel 1:36:59.520 --> 1:37:03.479 about them. So that will be interesting to see, you know, 1:37:03.560 --> 1:37:06.599 we'll also see what the jobs reports will do. ADP 1:37:06.760 --> 1:37:10.400 will provide some data of employer payrolls. Again, ADP is 1:37:10.439 --> 1:37:13.840 a private sector business, so we can get some data. 1:37:13.880 --> 1:37:16.640 We're just not giving it getting it from a government's perspective. 1:37:16.960 --> 1:37:19.400 Okay, And we've got big companies that are going to 1:37:19.479 --> 1:37:21.439 report profits, and we'll have a bigger picture too. We'll 1:37:21.439 --> 1:37:25.120 see how how those influenced the markets coming up. We're 1:37:25.120 --> 1:37:27.320 all have a pretty good idea if these big large 1:37:27.360 --> 1:37:29.200 cap companies are the big ones here, like you know, 1:37:29.320 --> 1:37:32.720 Marathon and McDonald's, it doesn't get bigger than that. They 1:37:32.760 --> 1:37:34.080 report their earnings, we'll find out. 1:37:34.640 --> 1:37:36.880 Yeah, I mean, you know, right now it's earning season. 1:37:36.960 --> 1:37:38.800 You know, we want to make sure that we see 1:37:38.800 --> 1:37:41.760 how companies are going to continue to perform, you know, 1:37:41.800 --> 1:37:44.639 what their prospects are. We get guidance from them as well. 1:37:44.920 --> 1:37:46.559 You know, a lot of times you'll get on conference 1:37:46.560 --> 1:37:48.760 calls with some of the executives and they'll say, here's 1:37:48.840 --> 1:37:50.800 you know, here's what we think we look like over 1:37:50.800 --> 1:37:53.080 the next six months to a year. So that guidance 1:37:53.160 --> 1:37:54.760 is going to get them be important. We're going to 1:37:54.800 --> 1:37:56.720 get one hundred and twenty eight large cap companies that 1:37:56.760 --> 1:37:57.839 are going to report profits. 1:37:58.240 --> 1:37:58.439 Uh. 1:37:58.520 --> 1:38:01.559 You mentioned Marathon McDonald Humana as well, so that will 1:38:01.560 --> 1:38:03.519 be interesting. And again we're gonna get a lot of 1:38:03.520 --> 1:38:05.759 FED speeches as we always do, so it'll be interesting 1:38:05.760 --> 1:38:07.840 to see what the FED has to say this week 1:38:07.880 --> 1:38:10.040 about the lack of data and what their guidance is 1:38:10.080 --> 1:38:11.000 moving forward as well. 1:38:11.360 --> 1:38:13.920 All Right, Andy Schaeffer all Worth Financial. The show is 1:38:14.080 --> 1:38:17.240 simply Money weeknights at six on fifty five KRC. He 1:38:17.360 --> 1:38:20.759 jumps into every Tuesday morning talk about stuff that's happening 1:38:20.840 --> 1:38:25.120 and influencing your wallet, including geopolitics for that matter. Fascinating, fascinating. 1:38:25.640 --> 1:38:27.800 I feel like we should be smoking cigars, sitting in 1:38:27.800 --> 1:38:32.360 a room somewhere and scotch and plotting the overthrow of Maduro. 1:38:32.400 --> 1:38:34.200 All right, gotta go, Andy, appreciate it all. 1:38:34.360 --> 1:38:36.120 Thanks, got all right, set it up. I'll see you 1:38:36.320 --> 1:38:36.920 all right, there. 1:38:36.840 --> 1:38:39.759 You go, big Scotch drinker, that Andy Shaffer, big Scotch drinker. 1:38:40.000 --> 1:38:42.200 Willie is on the way on this election day, on 1:38:42.240 --> 1:38:45.679 this November fourth, Ohio polls up until seven thirty. Don't 1:38:45.720 --> 1:38:47.880 forget to bring that ID if you're headed out to 1:38:47.960 --> 1:38:51.000 do that. And tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces of 1:38:51.040 --> 1:38:54.840 the election. A new mayor possibly unlikely, but possibly, there's 1:38:54.840 --> 1:38:57.680 always a chance Corey Bowman putting up a fight, and 1:38:58.000 --> 1:39:01.559 the makeup of council is definitely threatened by the crime 1:39:01.560 --> 1:39:04.320 and the bad news it surrounds our lovely city. Hopefully 1:39:04.560 --> 1:39:06.120 we can get a little bit of new blood in 1:39:06.160 --> 1:39:08.920 there and maybe change this dynamic for the better. Here, 1:39:09.720 --> 1:39:12.280 optimism abounds of the Home of the Best Bengals coverage 1:39:12.280 --> 1:39:14.880 with Logan Wilson being traded to Dallas Cowboys for a 1:39:14.960 --> 1:39:15.920 seventh round pick. 1:39:16.120 --> 1:39:17.880 They're making moves. Anything is possible. 1:39:18.000 --> 1:39:20.759 The Bengals are making moves before the trade deadline slowly. 1:39:20.800 --> 1:39:22.480 Seven hundred Deviliodity, Cincinnati,
